Gneiting was detained outside of his house in May, after Bonneville County Sheriff’s detectives issued a search warrant at his Idaho Falls residence.
After dispatching a deputy K9 at the house, detectives found multiple bags filled with a “white crystalline substance”, and syringes. Inside one of the bags was a digital scale. After testing the contents of all of the bags, detectives confirmed there was methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia present.
Though Gneiting has been charged with these crimes, it does not necessarily mean he committed them. Everyone is presumed innocent until they are proven guilty.
