Connors was taken to Central Booking and charged with: 

  • Two counts of CDS: Possession with intent to distribute narcotics;
  • Three counts of CDS: Possession of not cannabis;
  • A traffic violation for the invalid license.

As of 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 22, Connors was in the custody of the Carroll County Detention Center.
