Police were then able to identify a garage apartment of a house on Cedar Brook Drive in Hermon from which the drugs were being sold. The apartment was being rented to suspected drug traffickers from the Detroit, Michigan area, the police investigation found.

A search of the apartment and related investigations uncovered one pound of fentanyl, three-quarters of a pound of methamphetamine, 87 grams of crack cocaine, $19,000 in cash, a loaded AK-47 rifle, and two loaded semi-automatic handguns, police said.
