According to an indictment, in August of last year authorities conducted two controlled drug buys from Moorman involving 100 grams of fentanyl.

In September, a confidential source and an undercover officer bought 266 grams of fentanyl from Moorman, the indictment said.

Earlier this month, authorities executed a search warrant on Moorman's storage unit and seized over one kilogram of fentanyl, more than 500 grams of cocaine, an assortment of pills, and two AR-style rifles, one of which was a machine gun, officials said.

Records showed Moorman was booked into the Broward County jail on Jan. 14. Attorney information wasn't available.

The ATF's Miami Field Division is investigating the case with the help of the Broward Sheriff's Office.
