Cambron and Dooley were charged June 26, but additional details of the case became public recently. Bail on each is set at $75,000.
Police raided Cambron’s home and found bags of a crystal substance on the coffee table and on the floor that field-tested as something other than methamphetamine. A sample from those baggies was sent to the state police crime lab for analysis. The total weight of the alleged look-alike substance was more than 270 grams.
Police also found small amounts of methamphetamine and a scale with evidence of fewer than five grams of methamphetamine residue. Police also found a box of sandwich bags and two torch-style lighters.
Dooley was also staying temporarily in the home but denied any connection to drugs. Cambron told a police officer that he packaged the rock salt as a joke.
Dooley has a record dating to 2011 when he was convicted of possession of a controlled substance. He also has convictions for theft, retail theft, failure to return to prison after furlough, and four counts of possession of a controlled substance.
He is also facing pending charges of tampering with a motor vehicle, aggravated fleeing, and possession of methamphetamine. He was on parole when the recent search of Cambron’s home was conducted.
