Investigators did not specify when the investigation began. They say over the course of several months, authorities, including the FBI, worked to find who was supplying the drugs to the shop.

The investigation led them to a home on Bowser Drive, and that's when authorities executed search warrants on both properties. They reportedly found nearly $100,000, 13 firearms (four of which were stolen), 16 pounds of heroin, four pounds of methamphetamine, four pounds of cocaine, fentanyl pills and psilocybin mushrooms.

They say Johns faces felony charges of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance.
