A Burfordville man was arrested by Cape Girardeau Police Department officers with the assistance of Southeast Missouri Drug Task Force on a state search warrant where police found 85 grams of cocaine as well as various other drugs while searching a residence Friday, Sept. 13, in the 300 block of North West End Boulevard.

Collin Pearl, 21, was found after police executed a search warrant for the residence. The probable cause stated that cocaine was in plain view of the police when they performed the search.

According to the documents, Pearl allegedly first denied that there were any illegal items in the place until he was confronted about the cocaine. He then admitted it was there. The probable cause stated that after the residence was searched, police found 20 pounds of marijuana and marijuana wax, 85 grams of cocaine, 1.8 pounds of mushrooms and 13 Xanax pills.

Pearl is being held on a $202,800 bond, according to the Cape Girardeau County jail.
