Officers seized four unopened bags of suspected marijuana, a quart-sized ball jar containing suspected marijuana, a water bong, two Addarall capsules and metal grinder among other items, according to court papers.
Nguyen was found sleeping in the room where the alleged drug paraphernalia and drugs were found, police said.
During a Wednesday morning interview at the police station, Nguyen told a detective he sells a “few ounces (of marijuana) a month” and would also give marijuana to friends. The price of the marijuana varied, the alleged drug dealer told investigators, court papers said.

Nguyen reportedly said he started selling drugs in November 2014.
With consent, a detective looked at Nguyen’s iPhone 6 and discovered text messages related to drug sales.
