Boardman cops raid home, arrest two on drug and gun charges

BOARDMAN — Two Boardman men face gun and drug charges after their arrest when police used a search warrant to raid their Crestline Street home.

Jeffrey Hallock, 27, and Brandon Thomas, 23, were arrested Friday by the township police department’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit after the officers found a loaded handgun on their living room table and drugs in the house.

Police confiscated suspected LSD, cocaine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia in the raid.

“Drugs and guns are a deadly combination, and we will not tolerate them in our community,” said chief Patrick Berarducci. “Sgt. Mike Hughes and his team of officers are stepping up the pressure on drug dealers that are in our community.”
