That package had more than 2 kilograms of methamphetamine.
At Riley’s home, investigators discovered around 1,000 fentanyl pills, 40 pounds of marijuana, cocaine, drug trafficking paraphernalia, high-end jewelry and $18,500 in cash.
Riley also illegally possessed at least 15 firearms, such as an Akdal Arms, 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun and a Hi-Point 9mm high-powered rifle, as well as firearm magazines, and ammunition.
Four of the firearms recovered were discovered to have been stolen, and a fifth had its serial number removed.
In July 2024, Riley pleaded guilty to possessing with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, as well as cocaine and marijuana. He also admitted to illegally possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon, according to the U.S. Attorneys Office.
Riley was detained at the Butler County Jail turning the case, and was repeatedly caught smuggling drugs — specifically dozens of suboxone strips and amphetamines.
