On September 4, 2026, shortly after 1 a.m., officers were conducting foot patrols in the area of Brentwood Road in Angus when they observed a vehicle that had come to a stop. As officers approached and spoke with the occupants, they developed grounds to continue their investigation, which resulted in the arrest of two passengers.
As a result of the investigation, officers located and seized a quantity of suspected cocaine, fentanyl, and a pill bottle with unknown pills. Also seized were a handgun holster and two cell phones.
Two individuals were arrested and charged.
