During Turner's arrest outside the hotel, he was searched and officers found approximately 26 grams of cocaine, that was individually wrapped, and more than $1300.00 in cash. A search warrant was executed at a hotel room associated to Turner and police located and seized approximately 4.5 ounces of cocaine and items consistent with drug trafficking.
