SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On 12/16/2022 I was notified that William Garrett was in and out of the Champlain Store multiple times buying alcohol and that he appeared to be under the influence. The caller stated that Garrett was now walking home but was afraid he may fall into the road. I am familiar with Garrett and knew that he had active conditions to include not buy or possess or consuming alcohol. I located Garrett who on Caledonia Street walking towards his residence. Garrett smelled of intoxicants and had two 25 oz Natty Daddy cans. I arrested Garrett. Garrett was searched after being placed under arrest. Garrett was found to have 23 small baggies of Fentanyl. These baggies were marked with the Wanka symbol stamp from Charlie and the Chocolate factory and contained a bright purple powder similar to that found in the pixie stick candies. This powder field tested positive as fentanyl.
