    Thanks to a concerned citizen who alerted members of the Golf Alpha Midnight (GAM) Squad after suspecting possible drug activity in their neighborhood, officers from the GAM Squad began investigating the complaint. With the assistance of SWAT, the Drug Enforcement Division (DED), and TAC, they executed a search warrant at a known nuisance house in the Lake Richmond neighborhood, located next to the city park.

    Following the operation, Code Enforcement responded and officially condemned the residence. As a result of the warrant, Homer Pryor (born 12/01/1977) was arrested on an outstanding warrant for:

    •Sale/Delivery of Cocaine
    Additional charges below were added as a result of the search warrant.
    •Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon
    •Destruction of Evidence

    Seized Items:
    •9mm Firearm (Reported stolen, OCSO #09-113272)
    •MDMA: 9.1 grams
    •Cocaine: 1 gram
    •Crack Cocaine: 2.5 grams
    •Pills: 6.5 grams

    This operation is a clear example of how critical community cooperation is in our ongoing efforts to protect and secure our neighborhoods. We will continue to act swiftly and decisively on credible information, and we commend the citizen whose vigilance helped bring this case to a successful resolution.
