Michael Whitmer said he went to the home of Paul R. Morris, 74, where he observed Trazodone, marijuana seeds, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Outside in his vehicle Officer Whitmer found bottles of Alprazolam and Hydrocodone which had been filled in 2014 and 2015. There also was $2,400 in cash with the prescription medications.
