A large quantity of drugs were seized and two people were arrested by the East Central Narcotics Taskforce and Manchester police on Tuesday after what police said was a lengthy investigation into drug sales in and around Manchester, according to WTNH-TV.

Here’s the account (accusations not proven in court) given by police, according to the television station:

During the investigation, members of the task force received information about a drug dealer named “Gus” selling marijuana, MDMA and LSD in the north end of town and nearby. Police applied for and received a search warrant for the hotel room where the drug dealer was living. “Gus” was identified as William Garrett, 37.

In searching the hotel room, police found and seized:

1. 1.08 pounds of marijuana (estimated street value of $2,800)
2. 104 tabs of LSD blotter paper (estimated street value of $1,040)
3. 22 grams of ketamine (estimated street value of $950)
4. 7 grams of MDMA, also known as “Molly” (estimated street value of $350)
5. Five marijuana cookies (estimated street value of $100)
6. $14633 in cash
7. Numerous drug paraphernalia
8. A 2004 Volvo SUV
9. Several cell phones and computers

Garrett was charged with possession of the drugs, and police found he was wanted on a warrant by San Francisco police on a charge of sale of a dangerous substance.

Also arrested on drug possession charges was Alyssa Holt, 24, of Manchester.
