While conducting a probation search, deputies found in the bedroom of Scruggs and Atnip seven grams of a crystal like substance which field tested positive for methamphetamine. The meth was found in two separate bags packed among several smaller baggies. Forty six blue round pills believed to be Klonopin were also found in the bedroom along with a glass straw.
Scruggs had in his possession four knives, each with blades exceeding four inches. Eleven hypodermic needles, a spoon, and four pipes were also found along with $251 dollars which was confiscated as suspected proceeds from illegal drug sales.
