Investigators also recovered drug packaging materials, ingredients for manufacturing crack cocaine, a money counter, and an undisclosed amount of cash.

A forensic scientist from the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory confirmed the chemical identities of the substances. A Drug Enforcement Administration expert testified that the amounts of cocaine and fentanyl found in the room were consistent with distribution rather than personal use.
