Dylan HeardTwo men are facing a litany of charges after officers arrested them for trespassing in a vacant home with multiple firearms and a large amount of marijuana.
Police responded to the 1100 block of Garfield Street on Friday afternoon and spoke with the 911 caller, a handyman who had been tasked by a landlord with changing the locks on a vacant home he owned there.
However, when the man showed up to do the job, he found two men on the porch who told him they had bought the house and were living there. He also said he saw one of the men hand off a bag of what appeared to be marijuana to the occupants of a maroon-colored Ford Expedition that pulled up to the home.
Both men were back out on the front porch when the officer arrived, but went inside when they saw the patrol car. The handyman gave the officer permission to enter the home to remove the men, but both the front and back doors were locked.
After a moment, the officer saw Brandon Summey, 20, exit the back door. He told the officer no one else was home, but another man, Dylan Heard, 18, also walked out the door in front of police. Officers placed both men in handcuffs.
