Columbia police found more than a pound of fentanyl and three handguns while serving a search warrant Monday.
Frazier D. Pratt Jr., 61, was charged Monday with first-degree drug trafficking and two counts each of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon after a search Monday at his Huntridge Drive home.
According to a probable cause statement, officers found 26 grams of fentanyl in separate baggies along with more than $2,000 in cash when they searched Pratt and his Jeep during a traffic stop on East St. Charles Road. When they searched his residence, they found 1.43 pounds of fentanyl, two 9mm handguns and a .40-caliber handgun, the statement says.
Pratt allegedly admitted to police that he was trafficking fentanyl and that he was a felon who illegally possessed guns.
He remained in the Boone County Jail on Tuesday on no bond.
