Thus far, Hiller said, multiple pounds of marijuana have been seized by police. It is not yet clear exactly how much marijuana but Hiller described it as a "substantial amount." 

Some loose pills were also seized during the search but detectives have not yet determined what the pills are and whether they are of an illegal nature. They were loose and without a container, Hiller said.

If charges result, they are not likely until Wednesday at the very earliest but it could be even later in the week, Hiller said. 

The department used its Special Response Team to help enter the house considering the circumstances of the investigation, he said. More information will become available as detectives work through all of the evidence seized, he said.
