During the search, 47-year-old Justin M. Brake of Centralia was also taken into custody and found in possession of a controlled substance.

Two other subjects, 27-year-old Destrian M. Doza and 31-year-old Amber Berry, who were on scene staying at the residence and were both arrested on outstanding Clinton County warrants.

Brake and White were both charged with Possession of a Controlled substance.

White was processed and the reports on the controlled buys were forwarded to the Marion County States Attorney where White faces multiple counts of Delivery of a Controlled substance.
