Emergency Services Team officers had attempted to serve a warrant at the residence around 1:30 p.m. when two people, one of whom was a 5-year-old girl, came outside.

Sierra had refused to leave and locked herself in the master bedroom, which has a bathroom, according to Allen Superior Court documents.

When SWAT members entered the apartment, it appeared someone had attempted to ditch a large amount of narcotics.

Trash, strewn belongings, and shattered glass littered the bathroom floor, and authorities discovered a stolen firearm inside the toilet tank.

The toilet bowl was full of a powdery substance that tested positive for fentanyl, and at least 200 grams of the drug were discovered throughout the residence, including in a Disney toy box believed to belong to Sierra's 5-year-old daughter.

At least 1.2 grams were in the "Disney Encanto Bracelet Activity Surprise" box, court documents noted.
