Police were attempting to locate a murder suspect on Monday evening, and conducted a knock-and-talk at an apartment at 270 Tampa Drive. As officers knocked, they could smell marijuana coming from the apartment, and they were let into the residence.

The scene was frozen, and search warrant was applied for, granted, and executed. As a result of the search, officers also found a loaded Ruger P94 in a backpack beside the larger bag of heroin. The total weight of all heroin recovered was 41 grams.
There was an additional person in the home, Adrian Gaines, who was arrested and charged with a handgun found in his bedroom.
