A false alarm brings the police to a house but they become suspicious when they smell marijuana, they ask permission to enter and discover a large stash of drugs, money and guns:
Inside the home, officers discovered about 1½ pounds of powder cocaine, nearly a half-pound of crack cocaine, about 1,800 Ecstasy tablets, about 40 grams of marijuana, a digital scale, glassware used to make crack cocaine, a ledger indicating drug sales and purchases and $33,799 in cash, police said.
Authorities found drugs “literally throughout the house,” Nelson said, along with packaging materials.
Firearms seized included a Glock .40-caliber handgun, a Raven .25-caliber handgun, a .38-caliber handgun, an Olympic Arms .223-caliber rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun.
Police said the estimated street value of the seized cocaine and Ecstasy was $52,700, based on sales per ounce and per pill. Nelson said the figure was a “low-ball” amount.
I think the moral of this story is if you are going to store illegal drugs and firearms in your house, you may not want to install an alarm. With so much cash, drugs and guns it may be tempting but installing anything that could summon the police isn’t a really smart idea.
