In addition to the drugs and money, Beck was found to be in possession of several scales and packaging material, all of which supported the complaints that he was selling illegal drugs, according to the police report. Beck was charged with five counts of possession of a controlled substance, three counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school, possession of a controlled substance within 1,500 feet of a school, four counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of less than a kilogram of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of more than an ounce of opioids with intent to sell, two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to Sell, and risk of injury to a child.
