A 23-year-old man was taken into custody at about 2:45 a.m. at an apartment in the 2300 block of Hanover Avenue. With the help of the Tactical Support Unit, police seized multiple firearms, ammunition, a taser and brass knuckles…plus varying amounts of different drugs, drug paraphernalia and cash consistent with the trafficking of drugs.
A short time later, at about 3:40 a.m., a 57-year-old man was arrested in a suite at a hotel located on Highway 11 at Floral Road. In addition to seizing a Dodge Ram truck, police collected various amounts of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
