MUSKEGON (WWJ) -- On Friday, officers in Muskegon recovered over 300 grams of illegal drugs and took the alleged distributor into custody.

On December 2, detectives from the West Michigan Enforcement Team (WEMET) Muskegon office executed a search warrant at a residence in the 900 block of Fleming.

According to Michigan State Police, law enforcement seized over 230 grams of suspected fentanyl, 145 grams of suspected cocaine, and 30 grams of crystal meth.

A 9mm Glock pistol with an extended magazine was also found and taken from the home.

Police arrested a 32-year-old suspect, who has been charged with possession with intent to deliver and several firearms charges.

If convicted of the most serious of these felony charges, the accused faces up to 20 years in prison.

Currently housed in the Muskegon County Jail, the defendant also appears to be in violation of their parole, and is subject to a hold placed by the Michigan Department of Corrections.

WEMET detectives were assisted by the MSP Emergency Support Team and Canine Unit, DEA Grand Rapids and the Muskegon Police Department.
