The search’s target was Keith Jackson, who was inside one of the hotel rooms at the time, officials say.

- One plastic bag containing 55.2 grams of suspected fentanyl

- One plastic bag containing 0.5 grams of suspected fentanyl
- Six Suboxone strips

Jackson was taken into custody and brought to the Lawrence County Jail. Officials say he had $2,979 on him at the time.
Online court records show Jackson is facing drug trafficking charges and is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing on Jan. 22.
