Detective Ronald Wedgeworth, Lt.

They refused to allow law enforcement to search the residence, so upon attainment of a search warrant, agents discovered two baggies of suspected marijuana and three large baggies of suspected cocaine.

A child under the age of 10 was inside the residence at the time the warrant was served.
