Deputies, along with the Richmond Police Department, executed a search warrant on South F Street. They located multiple ounces of fentanyl and cocaine, along with evidence that deputies say are consistent with narcotics distribution.
Chatman was also involved in a drug investigation in January 2025, deputies say. Investigators executed a search warrant on a different property in Richmond where they located fentanyl, cocaine and other distribution materials, according to deputies.
