“No one else is in the homes, but clearly we do not believe Freeman is the lone drug dealer or recipient of these narcotics,” Lt. Robert J. Albertini told Channel 2 Action News.
On Oct. 4, police searched another apartment they believe belonged to Freeman located at 920 Memorial Drive and found $94,790 in cash, 2 money counting machines, and other pieces of evidence.
“This isn’t just metro area weight, this could go to surrounding states and communities,” Lt. Albertini said. “But clearly, this amount of drugs and narcotics seized, we would have to think it deals with cartel, that’s cartel weight.”
