Two Syracuse men are facing multiple felony drug and weapons charges following a joint investigation by New York State Police and federal agents.
According to State Police, investigators executed a search warrant around 5 a.m. May 15 at a residence on Schiller Avenue in Syracuse following a month-long investigation conducted with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
The warrant was carried out by members of the State Police Troop D Community Stabilization Unit, Special Operations Response Team, Violent Gang and Narcotics Enforcement Team, along with ATF agents.
Authorities said investigators located and arrested two individuals inside the residence without incident.
During the search, police recovered two loaded semi-automatic handguns, ammunition, more than four ounces of cocaine, liquid methadone, suboxone films and pills, narcotics packaging materials, and a digital scale containing cocaine residue.
State Police arrested Robert Jackson, 32, and Malcome Baker, 31, on multiple charges, including criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm, and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.
Police said Jackson also faces an additional charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree due to a previous conviction.
