In June 2025, residents of The Mill at Westside apartment complex on Huff Road NW began raising concerns regarding possible drug activity within the complex.

Tenants reported smelling a strong odor of marijuana and a lot of people coming in and out of a unit on the third floor, authorities said.

Between June and July, APD’s Narcotics Unit launched an operation focusing on that particular unit. During the operations, police said officers detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from the unit.
