Three arrested after marijuana bust at Naples Park, Florida home

Marijuana was discovered in the kitchen and a bedroom, unearthed in a cooler and uncovered in plastic vacuum bags.

There was $27,000 in cash in a safe, with a ledger tracking sales.

And after the search was over Wednesday, 10 pounds of pot were found inside a Naples Park, Florida home Collier County, Florida sheriff's deputies say.



Arrested in connection with the drug warrant served at the Florida house were: Anthony R. Direnzo Jr., 34, and Benjamin Dennis Saucier, 27, both of 659 96th Ave. N., in North Naples, Florida. Another man, Chadwick Ronald May, 34, of 200 Fairways Circle, North Naples, Florida was arrested after Florida K-9 deputies say they found marijuana in his car parked outside the house.

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.
