At 300 Holmes Street, police seized pressed pills containing Fentanyl and a gun with extended magazines.

Abney has been charged with possession with intent to distribute Fentanyl.
“We are always looking for ways to make a positive impact on the community and ridding the area of drug dealers is one of the most important ones,” said LPD Chief Keith Grounsell. “We are grateful to have 100% support of the mayor, city administrator and city council to aggressively rid the streets of this poison that has caused over 100,000 overdoses across America last year.
