Marijuana was discovered in the kitchen and a bedroom, unearthed in a cooler

Another man, Chadwick Ronald May, 34, of 200 Fairways Circle, North Naples,
Florida was arrested after K-9 deputies say they found marijuana in his car
parked outside the house.
Florida Deputies couldn't say if they believed the three were major marijuana
suppliers.
"Ten pounds is notable," said Florida sheriff's spokeswoman Tina
Osceola. "If you have 10 pounds in your house, that's not for personal
use. The potential, with those kinds of drugs in the house, is tremendous for
high pedestrian traffic."
Reports say Florida narcotics investigators and the Florida SWAT team served
the warrant and found Direnzo, Saucier and May inside the house.
Eight pounds of marijuana were found inside Saucier's bedroom inside a closet.
Two more pounds were found in the kitchen. Some of the marijuana was inside
a blue cooler and packaged in vacuum bags. More pot was found in a shelf above
a safe in the closet.
The safe contained $27,255 and an additional $297 was found on the shelf above
the safe.
Florida investigators say they also found several Percocet and Xanax in Direnzo's
bedroom. Florida K-9 Woody detected marijuana in May's Toyota parked in the
driveway. Florida Deputies say they found marijuana and a marijuana pipe in
his vehicle.
Saucier also had Xanax and Percocet in his car, which the Florida deputies
discovered. Saucier was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to
sell, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, three counts of possession
of a controlled substance and narcotic paraphernalia.
Direnzo was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and
possession of a controlled substance.
May faces charges of possession of marijuana and possession of narcotic paraphernalia.
