Police say a woman notified them in July that someone was using her personal information to lease a condominium on Bennett Avenue in Dallas. Their investigation generated enough information to get a search warrant for the address. Police moved in on Wednesday and detained 32-year-old Taylor Smith at the residence.

During their search, police also discovered more than 160 pounds of marijuana and more than $250,000 in cash. They also seized drug paraphernalia, money counting machines and four firearms.

Smith has been arrested and charged possession of marijuana. The charge is a second-degree felony.
