David Cummings, 24, charged with possession of schedule II for resale, conspiracy to sell schedule II narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia.
In addition to the arrests, officers also seized a Dodge Stratus and collected evidence from the apartment, Little said. He declined to describe what evidence was collected.
According to Little, the investigation began after the sheriff’s department received “several complaints, not just from people in this neighborhood but throughout the county, regarding the sale of illegal narcotics in these apartments.”
