Pollard pleaded guilty to separate federal charges and was sentenced in July 2024 to 12 years.
Police found pressed blue fentanyl pills and two loaded handguns – a Glock 19 9 mm and a Smith & Wesson 9 mm in Robey's room. They also found a money counter, medical gloves, and empty vacuum-sealed bags. However, he was not home when police executed the search warrant.
Robey was found two months later and arrested after the execution of a search warrant where he and a woman were found with a toddler, a large amount of marijuana, 60-70 pills of assorted colors, which were predominantly oxycodone, and a loaded Romarm Micro Draco AK-pattern pistol.
Robey's cell phone was seized during the warrant, and police found messages related to the sale of pills.
