Police also say they found a bolt action rifle, an assortment of imitation firearms and BB guns, and approximately $2,500 worth of stolen tools and property.

The total street value of the seized drugs is approximately $68,000, and the Fentanyl represents over 1,500 potential lethal doses of the drug, according to the police report.
