A Virginia Beach man has been arrested after a large quantity of cash and drugs were seized from a local residence. The incident began on March 22 when an officer found a man asleep in a running vehicle containing visible marijuana and currency.

Seized items included two vehicles, two handguns, 28.31 pounds of marijuana, 3.96 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms, and a significant amount of THC and nicotine vapes, along with packaging materials and ammunition.
Savionugh Clinkscales, 24, faces multiple charges, including firearm possession during drug sales and intent to sell narcotics and marijuana. The investigation into the incident remains active.
