According to the TTPD Facebook page;

Our narcotics investigators had been looking into reported drug sales going on at this house and the adjoining property that faces Pleasant Grove Road. Over the last several days, they'd been able to make multiple controlled buys there from Lovell prior to the issuance of the search warrant last week.

Lovell was allegedly selling the drugs from the house that is across the street from a child daycare center. Authorities say they 'enhanced' one of the charges because the area is a drug-free zone.

Police arrested Lovell at the property without incident. He was booked into the  Bi-State Jail with a bond set at $185,000.
