PRESTON COUNTY, W.Va. A West Virginia State Police search for a wanted subject led troopers to a stash of dangerous drugs in Preston County.
On Wednesday, troopers served an arrest warrant for a resident of a home on Hielman Road in Bruceton Mills and encountered a vehicle in the driveway occupied by two people.
When one of the occupants, identified as Brooks Reckart, 60, got out of the car, troopers said there was a bag in plain view containing what they thought was crack cocaine and small folds of paper containing a mixture of what was thought to be fentanyl and heroin.
When troopers searched the vehicle, they found 28 of the small folded pieces of paper. The field tested positive for heroin or fentanyl.
Reckart has been charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and is being held in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail in lieu of a $75,000 bond.
