He will serve these sentences consecutively for a total of 17 years and 7 months.

The charges stem from a July 2, 2024, drug bust at a home on Bendix Drive in South Bend.

According to the documents, authorities knocked loudly on the door several times, before law enforcement agents shouted, " DEA, Police, Search Warrant!” several times prior to entry.

Authorities say they didn't receive a response and manually breached the front door.

Documents state upon entering, law enforcement encountered a man, later identified as Denardo A. McCormack, in the southeast corner bedroom.

Authorities say McCormack was detained, handcuffed, and searched without incident. There was no one else located inside the residence.

Multiple firearms and a plethora of drugs were located in the home.
