Officers searched his home and found more than four pounds of fentanyl. For perspective, the Drug Enforcement Administration reports the small amount of fentanyl that fits on the tip of a pencil is considered a potentially deadly dose.
Officers also found almost two pounds of marijuana, two pounds of meth, narcotics packaging materials, digital scales and a large amount of cash. The report says a handgun was also discovered.
Norman was booked into the Metro jail Thursday night on six charges and is not eligible for release.
