- Oxymorphone Hydrochloride;
- Oxycodone-Acetaminophen;
- Buprenorphine Hydrochloride;
- Tramadol Hydrochloride;
- alprazolam;

Investigators said the prescription bottles were in multiple names, some of which did not include either of the women's names. A bag of cash was also found.
If found guilty, the charges could result in a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine for both Ferrentino and Hurd.
