Dublin Police Services officers discovered over five pounds of narcotics at a residence in the city last week worth about $200,000 as well as multiple firearms, the department said.
Police arrested Kevin Reese, 55, as a result of the findings Feb. 17 within the 10800 block of Inspiration Circle, DPS spokesperson Miguel Campos told Pleasanton Weekly.
DPS officials alleged on social media that Reese possessed a slew of intoxicants and weapons: 5.5 pounds of cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms, ecstasy, anabolic steroids, three rifles, three handguns and two shotguns.
“That’s not a side hustle. That’s a full-time felony,” police wrote online. “In all seriousness, this case highlights the connection between narcotics trafficking, illegal firearms and the threat they pose to community safety.”
According to DPS officials, Reese legally owned all the firearms, however, possessing them in conjunction with controlled substances was against the law.
“Removing these drugs and weapons from our neighborhoods makes Dublin safer for everyone,” officials added.
Reese was charged with 11 counts including possession of a controlled substance for sales and/or distribution, possession of an assault weapon, possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded firearm, money laundering and false declaration to receive health benefits, Campos said.
Inside his garage, officers also found a Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Cadillac SUV and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, DPS officials wrote on social media. “We do not have reason to believe that any of the jewelry or vehicles were stolen,” Campos said.
Reese remained in custody as of Wednesday morning.
