During a search of the vehicle police recovered a gun, paraphernalia, scales, crack cocaine and heroin from Allen.
After transporting Allen to the sheriff’s office for processing deputies located three large bags of methamphetamine in the backseat of the cruiser. Deputies said Allen also attempted to flush other bags of methamphetamine and heroin down the toilet.
