During this operation, detectives observed Davaughn Williams loitering in the area and taking part in several suspected narcotics transactions. Additionally, detectives had received information indicating a male matching the description of Williams was selling drugs in the area.

Detectives approached Williams around Iowa and Atlantic Avenues and they say he was in possession of 10 bricks, or 500 individual wax folds of heroin, 1.3 grams of suspected crack cocaine, and 36 grams of marijuana.

Williams was taken into custody without incident.
