Officers also made two arrests from this search warrant, police said. Sammie Barrow Jr., 49, and Narvella Mitchell, 40, were charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute 500 grams or more.

The charges were filed at the federal level, because it fell into the Project Safe Neighborhood zone, according to the release, and more charges could potentially be filed in the case.

The Amarillo PD narcotics unit is still investigating.
