Darrell "Money" Grimes, 31, threw 12 bags of heroin weighing 3 grams over a fence and Martese "Bands" Jackson, 20, three three bags of crack weighing 3.7 grams into some bushes as police moved in on them outside the motel at around 6:30 p.m., according to the Stamford Advocate. Police also had a search warrant for one of the rooms at the motel, and when they entered they found Michael Edwards, 21, inside with a gun on the desk, according to the Stamford Advocate.
Inside the motel room police found 9.4 grams of crack and 20 grams of heroin, all packaged for sale, as well as 20 tablets of antidepressant medication and 16 ounces of Fentanyl, along with a scale and more than $1,000 in cash, according to the Stamford Advocate.
