In a coordinated effort between EDU officers and Violent Crimes Division detectives last night, Edwards and Dugger arrived downtown to conduct the deal made online with officers to purchase a set amount of nitrous oxide and were taken into custody.
More than 51,000 grams of nitrous oxide cans, cash and drug paraphernalia were located in the back seat of their vehicle. Three joints of marijuana were also recovered from Edwards during his arrest.
