Officers then searched the vehicle and found additional stolen merchandise,and a large amount of drugs including several plastic bags containing marijuana, methamphetamine, powder cocaine, a vial of testosterone with a syringe filled with suspected testosterone, an assortment of prescription medication pills, and some drug paraphernalia, Leger said.
