CHARLESTON, W.Va. --Members of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department drug unit seized about $20,000 worth of narcotics and cash at a home in St. Albans on Wednesday.
Jesse Edward Post, 35, of St. Albans was arrested after deputies received a tip and searched his home on Middle Drive, located in the Green Valley Drive area.
Sgt. Ron Mathis said deputies recovered prescription pills, hallucinogenic mushrooms, heroin and a little more than $6,000 cash.
Mathis said this is only the second time in 15 years that he's seen mushrooms.
Approximately 200 units of heroin were found, police said. Law enforcement officers are seeing heroin more often in the area because of widespread use of the powerful prescription painkiller OxyContin, Deputy C.M. Morgan said.
Police are charging Post with possession with intent to deliver heroin, marijuana and mushrooms. Each narcotic carries a penalty of one to 15 years, Mathis said.
Post was awaiting arraignment Wednesday night in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
