The operation was sparked by complaints that prescription painkillers were being sold at Singletary’s home.

As a result, Singletary was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver a schedule II controlled substance; manufacturing a schedule II controlled substance; maintaining a dwelling for the purpose of keeping or selling a controlled substance; selling a schedule II controlled substance; delivering a schedule II controlled substance.

His bond has been set at $75,000.
