He was arrested and taken into custody.

Authorities say the officers announced their presence at the residence several times before executing a search warrant where they found items commonly used to manufacture methamphetamines.

Four individuals inside of the house were also arrested: Alan E. Devine, 23, of Florida Avenue; John M. Greathouse, 30, of Florida Avenue; Tracy Marie Strata, 23, of Florida Avenue; and Amanda L. Cline, 26, of Eldorado Drive in Springfield Township.
