The drugs were seized from suspect Kevin Tincher’s home and business.
The drugs found included methampethamine, heroin, fentanyl, marijuana and cocaine. The task force also seized $20,000 cash and six handguns.
Sheriff Plummer said this bust and others in the last two weeks have taken a total of 40 pounds of drugs off the streets.
"These guys have been working very hard now for several years and we haven't seen the price go up at all which means we're not effecting the supply but like I said over 40 poiunds of this stuff in the past two weeks this has to slow something down,” Plummer said.
