Later that day, members of the Emergency Services Unit executed a search warrant at a home in the 8800 block of Wyandotte Street East, where they seized two replica firearms and one revolver pellet gun with ammunition. 

He has been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.
