A warranted search turned up 175 grams of methamphetamine, two bottles of GHB, drug packaging materials and $170 in drug proceeds at Christopher Durkin's Spring Street home last Thursday, according to a release from the Union County Prosecutor's Office.

GHB is a powerful depressant commonly known as a "date rape" drug that's used to treat narcolepsy.

In 2018, Durkin was charged with having more than 20 ounces of crystal meth valued at roughly $59,000.

Durkin was taken into custody again and charged with first-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance with the intent to distribute, a related second-degree narcotics offense and two related third-degree narcotics offenses, the UCPO said.
