In October 2019, the office of District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives began an investigation into the growing narcotics activity in the town of Hempstead in Long Island, New York.

According to Wehner, the investigators conducted a search warrant called “Operation Honeycomb” at the house of Lex Lloyd, 26, of Nassau County. From there, they reportedly discovered several bullets, 2 narcotics presses, 50 oxycodone pills, and 520 grams of cocaine.
