They seized 4 pounds of methamphetamine, 25 grams of Fentanyl, 19 grams of black tar heroin, 27 suboxone strips and $1,900 in cash. They also found and seized a loaded Glock .40 caliber handgun, which had its serial numbers removed, and a 25-round magazine, the department says.
In total, the value of the drug is estimated at $13,000.
Marlow was booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail on Wednesday morning. His charges include being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a loaded firearm in public and possession of controlled substances for sale.
His bond is set at $50,000.
