He was also charged with unlawful possession of a dangerous ordnance—a fifth-degree felony—after a sawed-off shotgun was discovered.

A third search at 526 E. Main Street resulted in the arrest of Aaron Rutschilling, 29, of Greenville, on trafficking charges involving approximately 71 grams of methamphetamine.
