Lake Havasu City, Ariz., police arrested Ryan Reavis in connection with the overdose death of Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller.

Police in Arizona arrested a man Tuesday in connection with the death of Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller.

The Arizona Republic reported Ryan Reavis, 36, of Lake Havasu City was arrested Tuesday, and police said a search of his home yielded a prescription pad, prescription pills, drug paraphernalia and marijuana.

The arrest comes three weeks after federal authorities arrested a Los Angeles man and charged him with selling Miller oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl on Sept. 5, 2018.

Miller was found dead in an apartment two days later. An autopsy found he died of an accidental overdose via a combination of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.

Police said they also found various firearms, a personally manufactured firearm suppressor and large amounts of ammunition in Reavis’ home. He faces numerous fraud, drug and gun charges.

The Arizona Republic reported that police did not identify the direct connection between Reavis and Miller’s death.
