David Walls, 46, of Chester, was arrested and faces drug and firearms charges, according to police. Court records show he was released Tuesday, Jan. 30 after posting 10 percent of his $250,000 bond.

"I have to give praise to my narcotics division along with the members from the County Task Force," said Commissioner Steven Gretsky.

"To remove this type of firepower from the street is a win for my department. The investigators work continuously to arrest individuals who continue to pollute the City of Chester with narcotics."

Walls has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 7, according to court records.
