At about 2:47 PM, officers observed Blount conduct multiple hand-to-hand transactions believed to be drug sales. Other officers stopped a suspected buyer a short distance away on Massachusetts Avenue and recovered a plastic bag containing a substance believed to be crack cocaine.

Based on this evidence, officers approached Blount near 891 Massachusetts Avenue and placed her under arrest. A search at the scene recovered two plastic bags containing suspected fentanyl. She was transported to District D-4 for booking, where a further search revealed the following:

In total, officers seized approximately 43 grams of fentanyl and 47 grams of crack cocaine. Officers also seized an undisclosed amount of U.S. Currency from Blount.
