with intent to distribute, money laundering and being a restricted person who

Open questions the AI reported
No date is given for the search; 17 March 2023 is the date the report was published, and the disclosure that police had watched the house for months suggests the search came earlier.
Several cannabis figures are vague: 'several pounds of marijuana', 'thousands of edibles' and '10,000 THC vape cartridges' are given without a weight, so no cannabis weight is recorded.
The 15 guns and the magic mushrooms are not cannabis or are given without a usable count and are left out of the cannabis figures.
The $70,000 in cash is recorded as a cash figure; no source states it was confiscated as proceeds of cannabis sales.
No police statement, probable cause statement or court record was found, and no court outcome is reported.
