LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — On Friday the Lake County Sheriff's Office arrested a man reported to have had enough fentanyl in his possession to kill the entire population of Lake County, along with other drugs and multiple firearms, including a “ghost” gun.

Brandon Charles Weilert, 38, of Nice, also known as Brandon Grendis, was arrested for multiple felony crimes, including distributing and selling narcotics and possessing a machine gun on Friday, said Lauren Berlinn, spokesperson for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

She said Weilert is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition as a result of a prior felony conviction.

Berlinn said information received from the community over the past several months regarding ongoing drug activity and suspicious behavior led to the sheriff’s office investigating a residence in the 2800 block of Merced Street in Nice.

As a result of the information obtained during the investigation, Berlinn said the Lake County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit authored a search warrant, which was approved and signed by a judge.

On Friday, detectives and personnel from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office served the search warrant for the property, Berlinn said.

During the search warrant service, approximately 1,538 grams or 3.4 pounds of methamphetamine, 139 grams or 4.8 ounces of fentanyl, and 24 grams of heroin were seized, Berlinn said.

For perspective, a lethal dose of fentanyl is generally estimated to be about two milligrams, meaning there was enough of that drug seized to create 69,500 lethal doses.

Berlin said the total street value of the methamphetamine, fentanyl and heroin seized is estimated at approximately $170,000.

Also found were weight scales, a large amount of packaged marijuana and multiple firearms, Berlinn said.

She said one of the pistols seized was identified as what is commonly referred to as a “ghost gun.” The pistol was later determined to be modified to fire fully automatic, meaning it’s capable of continuous firing with a single action of the trigger.

Lake County Jail records show that Weilert is being held without bail on a PC 1275 hold due to concerns that he would use money to post bail that came from the commission of a felony.
