Early Friday morning, December 14 at about 15 minutes after midnight, the Charles City police department executed a search warrant for narcotics at an apartment in the 600 block of 11th St. Several narcotics related items were taken as a result, police say. Arrested during the raid was 29-year-old Isaac Brown III for a violation of a protective order. He was charged with second-offense domestic abuse assault by Charles City police back on July 3, leading to the no-contact order. He awaits a jury trial next month.
Police say additional charges are pending in the case.
The Floyd county sheriff’s office assisted with the operation.
Singapore has the right idea. Bring drugs in and you hang. They don’t have the drug problem or the drug related crime we do.
Unfortunately, no drug dealers were exterminated.
