Tatman was taken into custody Friday at the time of the search, but Roland was arrested the next day, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

- 57 grams of marijuana
- 28 grams of controlled substance pills
- Small amount of cocaine

Investigators described Roland as a multi-state offender from Chicago, adding that he is a convicted felon with a history of arrests that includes possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
They say he is also a performer with a hip-hop group called Most Wanted that produced a “disturbing video on YouTube that glamorizes drug use, firearms and violence towards law enforcement.”
He faces charges including eight counts of delivery of heroin, possession of a firearm while distributing a controlled substance and other drug-related charges.
