The street value of the methamphetamine is about $5,700, according to police.
Chandler was arrested for felony possession of narcotics with intent to sell, felony possession of a loaded firearm by a convicted felon and felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun, police said.
Chandler was booked into Marin County Jail and was being held without bail.
