The arrest warrant was for Allen Brown for charges of Attempted First-Degree Murder and Possession of Cocaine. When Agents arrested Brown and searched the home, they were able to find some new crimes to charge him with, after finding 26.5 grams of marijuana, 74 MDMA pills, and a gun.

Brown was arrested and charged with the following, not including his outstanding warrants:

· Possession of Schedule I Controlled Dangerous Substances (MDMA and Marijuana – two counts)
