On Sunday, July 27, 2014, Troopers assigned to the Hope Valley Barracks continued with their investigation and received information which linked the subjects to 566 Knotty Oak Drive in Coventry, RI. As a result of the information obtained from the aforementioned arrests, Troopers observed evidence of narcotics activity at the residence and subsequently obtained a search warrant signed by the Honorable District Court Judge Stephen Isherwood.

The renter, identified as Richard Troy, age 36, of 3900 Post Road, Apt. 1, Warwick, RI, arrived at 566 Knotty Oak Drive, while troopers were at the residence executing the search warrant.

• Possession with Intent to Deliver/Cultivation of a Schedule I Controlled Substance (Marijuana).
