Police Raid PIV Drugs and Weapons Stash

A coordinated police operation unfolded in the Lake Independence area on a bustling Wednesday night. Officers from the Special Patrol Unit, Quick Response Team, and K-9 Unit converged on the residence of Leon Gray. Their efforts led to the significant discovery of marijuana, totaling one thousand, nine hundred and forty-three grams, cleverly concealed in a chair within the yard.  During the raid, forty-year-old Chester Noralez, of Fern Lane, was present. He was promptly arrested and transported to the Raccoon Street Police Station, where he faced charges for possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply.  The night’s operations didn’t end there. Shortly after nine p.m., the officers proceeded to an abandoned cement house on Marigold Lane. A thorough search revealed three firearms: a .38 revolver, a 9mm pistol, and a .22 Ruger. These weapons were meticulously sealed and labeled as found property, marking the end of a productive night for law enforcement.
