According to information presented in court, law enforcement stopped Woodard while driving a vehicle for a traffic violation on February 16, 2022. During the stop, officers observed the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and conducted a probable cause search, resulting in the discovery of 9.85 grams of pills later analyzed and determined to contain fentanyl. Investigators later obtained a warrant for the content of Woodard's cell phone and found numerous photographs and text messages related to the illegal distribution of pills.
