A team of local police, county detectives, and state troopers executed search warrants at a property on the 400 block of Marshall Street and on a 2022 Chevrolet, County Prosecutor James Pfeiffer said in a statement.

In addition to the drugs, investigators claimed they recovered drug paraphernalia and a .38 caliber handgun loaded with hollow-point bullets during the search.

Thirty-nine-year-old John J. Russell is now charged with several drug trafficking felonies, weapons offenses for the gun and the hollow-point ammo, and one count of obstruction, according to the prosecutor.

The raid followed a three-week investigation by various law enforcement agencies, he added.
