During a search, police seized 17 pounds of methamphetamine, 54 grams of cocaine (nearly two ounces), 16 oxycodone pills, and a small amount of marijuana and steroids, the task force said.
Marvin D. Brookins, 48, of Elizabethtown, was arrested and charged with three counts of trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine, cocaine, oxycodone), possession of a controlled substance (anabolic steroids), trafficking in a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The suspect was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center.
