Sheriff Mims said, "Investigation has revealed there are multiple people that bought narcotics from Nix in Tulare County as well as Kingsburg. Unfortunately many of his clients were high school students and teenagers."

Sheriff's deputies searched Nix's Tulare County home and found 12 hundred pills and 15 thousand dollars in cash.
