The well-coordinated raid was the culmination of an extensive investigation, leading officers to execute search warrants at a residence located at 63 Ledge Lane.
Authorities seized $2,822 in U.S. currency, 56 fluid ounces of liquid PCP, 1 ounce of mint leaves infused with PCP, 147 ecstasy pills, and various items associated with drug packaging, including scales and a money counter.
Additionally, two vehicles, a 2010 Lexus RX350 and a 2007 Lincoln Navigator, were impounded.
Trevor Whittingham, born Sept. 30, 1975, was arrested in connection with the seizure.
