Plant City Police arrested two men on drug and firearm-related charges during an execution of a search warrant Friday morning.
The PCPD SWAT team and other officers descended upon the apartments at 702 W. Dr. MLK Blvd. at approximately 11:22 a.m. and, after securing the scene, placed Jataj A. Johnson and Cordarryl D. Small under arrest.
Johnson had an outstanding warrant out of Polk County for possession of oxycodone, possession of marijuana (less than 20 grams), possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia. Small was charged with armed trafficking, possession of a firearm and ammunition as a felon, possession of 779 grams of synthetic marijuana (“spice”), possession of 39 grams of methamphetamine, possession of 14 grams of MDMA (ecstasy), possession of two grams of crack cocaine, possession of eight Diazepam pills and possession of two oxycodone pills.
The investigation is still active and PCPD will release more information as it becomes available.
