Despite being surrounded by police, Berg admitted to possessing fentanyl in his car and on his person during the interaction with the authorities. Authorities found a trove of drugs and paraphernalia during a follow-up search: “43 grams of fentanyl (including packaging), equating to 21,885 lethal doses, 1.65 grams of methamphetamine (including packaging), 12 small clear plastic baggies and a case of razors, two functional digital scales, $185 in cash, consisting of $20, $10, and $5 denominations,” according to the statement. Given the quantity of fentanyl found, which is significantly more than anything close to personal usage, officers concluded that Berg’s motive went beyond simple possession.

Berg intended to distribute, according to the evidence presented to the officers. He was then taken into custody on several accusations, including possessing illegal paraphernalia, transporting or distributing drugs, and possessing drugs with the intent to sell.
