Firearms seized from accused drug dealer’s Williamsport home
When probation officers paid a surprise visit to Deyvaun Rashid Williams at his city home at 444 Germania St, Williamsport, on Oct. 3, they saw in plain view “a large amount of marijuana and multiple firearms,” according to an affidavit filed by a detective assigned to the county’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit. Law enforcement immediately obtained a search warrant that was quickly executed at the home. Detectives seized five handguns and two long guns, including an AK-47, the court document stated. “Williams possessed seven firearms in order to protect his illegal drug enterprise,” the detective wrote in the affidavit. In addition to all the firearms and an estimated 10 ounces of marijuana, detectives seized an estimated $9,000 in drug money from the home, investigators said. Following his arraignment days later before District Judge Aaron Biichle on seven counts of possession of instruments of crime and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, Williams, 22, was initially jailed, but has since been released on $50,000 bail. He also has waived his preliminary hearing.
