A Frackville man is in prison after a tip led police to a stockpile of synthetic drugs allegedly found in the man's Hazle Township motel room early Sunday morning.

Brett Lee Blankenbiller, 43, of Second Street, was charged by state police at Hazleton with one felony count of manufacture, possession or delivery with intent to manufacture or deliver and misdemeanor charges for possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Blankenbiller was arrested early Sunday morning after troopers received information during a traffic stop that Blankenbiller was in possession of a "large quantity" of synthetic narcotics, also known as bath salts in room 20 at the Penn Terrace Motel, 1880 E. Broad St., Hazle Township, court papers state.
