After last week’s drug raids that resulted in the arrest of 22 individuals, some criminals might have thought the Selma Police Department would be ready for a break.shouting

Three Selma men found out the hard way this is not the case Tuesday afternoon.

After receiving a tip from people in the area, Selma Chief of Police William T. Riley said the Selma Police Department conducted a search at 1000 Medical Center Parkway in Apartment 33, which resulted in five arrests and the confiscation of a large amount of marijuana.

“At about 10:30 this morning we received information from a concerned citizen of a package being delivered, and they advised the package could possible contain illegal drugs,” he said. “During the initial investigation, we were able to confirm the package did contain marijuana. Members of the drug unit, assisted by the K-9 unit and C.I.D. supervisor went to the address. The investigation resulted in three suspects being arrested for possession of marijuana first degree.”

Those charged include William Earl Wedgeworth III, 21, Sabeian Duplessis and Jerryius Glass, 22.

All have been charged with possession of marijuana first degree.

“One of the suspects had almost an ounce on him when he was arrested,” Riley said. “That’s the type of weights we were dealing with.”

Huge.. Put 5 Nickles and a penny in one hand. That weighs almost an ounce, just to put it in perspective… So for that much weight of a Natural plant, these guys will get up to a year in jail.. Second offense? We will be housing and feeding them for 1-10 years…

Great ! Now hit Keller Alley East of Marie Foster and Lauderdale/First Avenue. The drive-through in Keller Alley is always busy and they also trash the entire Block.
