They say a search of the hotel room turned up methamphetamine, crack cocaine, fentanyl, more than 600 oxycodone pills, digital scales, packaging, and more than $2000 in suspected drug proceeds.
Buiniskas and Morrison were charged with four counts of class C Unlawful Possession of Scheduled “W” drugs and four counts of class B Unlawful Trafficking Scheduled “W” Drugs.
Buiniskas also had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for failing to appear in court for a previous drug possession charge. He’s being held in jail without bail.
