(2) The existence on the property and in the actual possession of the defendant when the totality of the circumstances, including quantity or volume, surrounding the defendant's arrest indicates possession for resale of any device designed, in whole or in part, to facilitate the performance of any illegal act set out in § 5-37-402.
