Tucson police say they foundΒ 900 fentanyl pills, a loaded pistol and nearly $5,000 in cash during a recent arrest.

A 43-year-old man is facing drug and weapons charges after a passer-by told an officer the man was passed out in a car at a gas station on Tucson's southeast side, police say.

Tucson police were investigating a robbery at a gas station on South Alvernon Way near East 22nd Street last month when a passer-by told an officer a man was passed out in a parked car, police said in a social media post.

An officer approached Dustian Marsh, 43, and eventually arrested him on an outstanding felony warrant, police say. In the car police say they found 900 fentanyl pills, a loaded pistol and nearly $5,000 in cash.

Marsh was arrested on suspicion of narcotic sales, possession of a firearm during a drug offense and being a prohibited possessor of a firearm.
