Reports stated that while taking Ely into custody, officers noticed two large bags of methamphetamine in plain view of the home.

A search warrant was then issued for the home, leading officers to find additional meth, numerous Xanax pills, marijuana packaging for resale and a grinder.

Ely is charged with possession of meth, possession of meth with intent to distribute, trafficking methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, distribution of marijuana, possession of a schedule IV controlled substance, possession of drug-related objects, drugs not in original container, and probation violation.
