Deputies said Allen-Holt was convicted of attempted burglary in 2016, which would prohibit him from legally owning a firearm.

As detectives searched the home, Allen-Holt kept making statements that detectives had already found all of the drugs and money, and a woman in the home was overheard telling Allen-Holt that she could claim some of the money so that investigators didn’t seize it all, an affidavit shows.

Allen-Holt was arrested and faces the following charges:

  • Felony drug offense
  • Conspiracy to engage in trafficking
  • Armed trafficking in methamphetamine
  • Renting a structure for drug trafficking
  • Possession of a weapon by an in-state felon
  • Possession of a weapon and ammunition by a convicted felon
  • Possession of paraphernalia

In total, Allen-Holt is held on a bond of $1,650,500.
