At the direction of law enforcement, the source contacted Neshcheret and arranged to purchase one ounce of cocaine and 20 fentanyl pills. A search warrant was executed at a South Lake Tahoe residence where Neshcheret was renting a room in mid-January 2023. Inside his locked room were 114.7 grams of methamphetamine, 40.3 grams of cocaine, 22.2 grams of fentanyl, and 19.5 grams of a fentanyl analogue.
