Ray Williams Alphonso Toney
A couple of Reno County Drug Unit search warrants being served late Sunday has landed two men in jail with high bonds.
27-year-old Ray Anthony Williams II, is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell within a thousand feet of a school, felony possession of a firearm, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute and no tax stamp.
The co-defendant, 33-year-old Alphonso Toney is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell within a thousand feet of a school and no tax stamp.
The case starts with the first search warrant being served on Toney’s residence at 116 East 10th. Inside the residence according to detectives was a Taurus 45-caliber handgun with a loaded magazine, a digital scale, owe sheets, new baggies and a sandwich bag containing a crystal substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. It weighed around 43-grams.
Williams was taken into custody while laying next to the handgun. They also allegedly found a sentry safe key on his person as well as 1-thousand, 497-dollars in cash. Toney was taken into custody over the same amount of methamphetamine found in the residence.
The second search warrant was served at 1315 East 4th, Room 204. This room was rented by Williams and there was the sentry safe inside containing a one gallon zip-lock bag that contained more methamphetamine, about 134-grams, a tin can with ammunition for a 45-caliber handgun, money grams, digital scale and packaging materials. Williams is reportedly from Texas and has warrants for criminal charges there.
In court, Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen denied a bond reduction for both men after Deputy District Attorney Tom Stanton indicated that he may add additional charges against the two men. Williams bond set at 100-hundred thousand dollars and Toney’s at 75-thousand.
Both men will be back in court once the state files formal charges.
