Narcotics officers from the Wichita Falls Police Department have confiscated a large amount of drugs before they hit the streets.

The drug bust happened on July 2nd, around 5:00 that morning in the 400th block of E Bailey Avenue. Police say 21-year-old Mahagony Williams was arrested and charged with manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance. Officials found 97 grams of powder cocaine and 53 grams of crack.

"Obviously this is a dealers amount, not personal use amount. So yeah, this is actually a place they were dealing from." says police officer, Harold McClure.

Officers say the drugs have a combined street value of about $16,500. The home was also within a drug free zone which will enhance the charges.

I am happy that I moved away from there because I didn't want my children growing up around that type of environment. I dislike the fact that Bailey Avenue has that type of reputation and it seems as if every person that moves over there has a drug use or drug selling problem. I am so happy to be out of that environment. Thanks to Wichita Falls Police Department they are getting it cleared up for the better. Kids do not need to be around that surrounding. Thank You!
