Authorities say more than $20,000 in cash and heroin were seized during the recent arrest of a fugitive in the Las Vegas Valley.

The Division of Parole and Probation and the U.S. Marshals Service had been looking for Daniel Scott, 45, who was described as a “parole and probation fugitive with a lengthy criminal history,” Kim Smith of the Nevada Department of Public Safety said.

Authorities said they found him May 13 at a Las Vegas Valley residence. After securing a search warrant for the home, Las Vegas police found $20,515 in cash, 61 grams of methamphetamine, 15 grams of alprazolam and 19 grams of heroin. An exact location of the home was not released.

Scott was booked at the Clark County Detention Center on charges of trafficking narcotics and violating parole.
