Investigators say the search targeted two storage lockers, Unit 2029 and Unit 3008, tied to Olejar. The complaint states Unit 2029 had been leased to Olejar since June 11, 2024, and Unit 3008 since April 1, 2025.

The employee also said Olejar had been showing up after hours and staying as late as 3 a.m., which violated facility rules and led to restrictive access. What authorities found By the numbers: The complaint states police say they found six amounts of methamphetamine between the two units: 1.6 grams in a wooden box, 50.51 grams in a white pill bottle, 21.46 grams in a gold pill bottle and 6.60 grams, 4.42 grams and 1.38 grams in a white bucket.
