FORT MYERS, Fla. — Four people were arrested following a drug bust in the gated Fort Myers community after a month-long investigation by the Lee County Sheriff's Office (LCSO)
LCSO got a tip last month regarding the sales of narcotics occurring at 11841 Canal Grande Drive.
The anonymous caller advised that they had personally seen multiple unknown people arriving at the house either on foot or in vehicles. The caller also told LCSO that they had found several baggies around their yard and witnessed the homeowner of 11841, Stephan Marsala, stating he had an "8 ball ready."
A detective spoke to the caller and was told that more unknown vehicles have been coming to and from the residence. Several pieces of narcotics paraphernalia were located outside the home.
