The call was answered by?Bowser, who told the informant it was OK to come over. The informant told Keene as they entered the residence that they saw Bowser and McFarland in the residence with Richardson. The informant said McFarland was sleeping on the couch. Bowser and Richardson talked about getting more money so they could pick up more heroin, the affidavit states. Richardson gave the informant $60 for three bags of heroin.

The informant said that McFarland wanted to charge $30 for one-hundredth of a gram of heroin due to the high quality of the drugs.
