Tavon Wells, 27, of Bowling Green, was charged with trafficking in a controlled substances, first-degree wanton endangerment and second-degree fleeing or evading police.
When police arrived to the home, they found Tavon inside and took him into custody. Police then found Taron and were able to arrest him after a “brief standoff.”
Police said during the search of the home, they found drug paraphernalia with suspected fentanyl residue that was “accessible to Tavon’s 2-year-old son” along with 500 counterfeit pills containing suspected fentanyl, over a pound of marijuana, money and 35 televisions.
Both men are being held in the Warren County Regional Jail.
