Neighbors complained: Fentanyl, guns seized in Rock Hill; 2 juveniles among 4 charged
York County drug agents arrested four people and seized fentanyl, other drugs and guns, after neighbors complained of drug activity, officials said.
Rock Hill Police Department officers and members of the York County Multijurisdictional Drug Enforcement Unit found the drugs at homes on Hope Street and Quail Creek Drive, said Marvin Brown, commander of the drug unit. The two locations were linked together after police received many complaints from neighbors about drug activity, Brown said.
At the Hope Street house officers seized 80 doses of fentanyl, six ounces of marijuana, and three handguns, Brown said. Two of the weapons had been reported stolen from York and Lancaster counties, Brown said.
Pharmaceutical fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain reliever that is 50-100 times more potent than morphine, according to the Centers for Disease Control website.
Demarcys Tyron Davis, 26, of Rock Hill, faces six felony drug charges from the Hope Street seizure, according to police and jail records. Davis has previous drug convictions from 2017 in separate cases, South Carolina court records show.
Davis remains in the York County jail under a $27,000 bond, records show.
A second man at the Hope Street residence was charged with two gun charges, Brown said.
Officers then searched the Quail Creek Drive residence, Brown said. Police recovered two pounds of marijuana, seven grams of cocaine, eight grams of crack cocaine, 154 doses of Xanax, fenatnyl, $1,300 in cash, and another gun, police said.
Two juveniles, each age 17, were charged at the Quail Creek Drive residence with 10 felony drug and weapons charges, Brown said. Because of their ages, the juveniles’ names have not been released.
