Illegal Drugs Seized Following Search Warrant, One Arrested
February 01, 2021
The Tallahassee Police Department is actively working to address quality of life issues related to illegal drug activity in public housing complexes. The latest investigation into the trafficking of molly resulted in one arrest and took multiple guns off the streets.
On Jan. 29, members of TPD’s Special Investigations Section, along with the Violent Crimes Response Team, conducted a search warrant in the 2500 block of Holton Street. A thorough search of the residence yielded over 37 grams of Alpha-PVP (commonly referred to as Flakka or Molly) valued at over $37,000. Additionally, investigators located more than one thousand grams of marijuana, a loaded AK-47 pistol, a semi-automatic handgun, assorted drug paraphernalia and more than $500 in cash.
The illegal sale and use of drugs impact everyone and are often linked with more violent crimes. TPD is dedicated to directly addressing these activities as they can decrease the safety and overall quality of life for citizens. This operation exemplifies the positive outcome of proactive efforts to identify a problem, develop a plan and make a concerted effort to rid public housing complexes of narcotics traffickers.
If you see illegal activity, you are urged to report it by calling TPD at 850-891-4200. You can also remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 850-574-TIPS.
