Two Arrested in Tolland After Police Find Equipment for ‘Dabs'

An active search warrant led to the arrest of two in Tolland on Sunday morning.

Connecticut State Police had an active search warrant for 24-year-old Amber Blanchetter at her home located on Willington Avenue.

Travis Winans, 20, opened the door when police arrived to the address and let troopers inside the home, while Blanchette was sleeping in another room. 

In plain view, troopers said they saw narcotics and equipment used for heating marijuana when they entered the home. In addition to more equipment and paraphernalia, packaging materials, marijuana, scales and THC oil, were located in the room where Blanchette was sleeping, troopers said. 

Police said the equipment they found is used for processing a high potency THC oil commonly known as "dabs", "wax" or "shatter."

Blanchette was then turned over to the Manchester Police Department subsequent to her active arrest warrant.

Winans was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and operating a drug Factory, among other charges.

His bond was set at $50,000 and he's expected in court on July 10.
