(WNY News Now) – Jamestown – A routine traffic stop on Prendergast Avenue resulted in the arrest of two men for drug and weapon charges, after officers discovered over 100 grams of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and a loaded handgun.
On September 25, 2024, at approximately 5:04 PM, Jamestown Police Department officers conducted a traffic stop on the city’s north side that quickly escalated into a major drug and weapon bust. The suspects, Dion J. Carr, 40, of Buffalo, and Charles N. Dean, 26, of Jamestown, were arrested following the stop.
During the investigation, officers uncovered a significant stash of illegal substances, including 112 grams of methamphetamine and 18 grams of fentanyl. Along with the drugs, police seized a loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun, two digital scales, and $491 in cash, suspected to be proceeds from drug sales.
In an attempt to evade arrest, Carr fled the scene on foot but was apprehended shortly after. Both Carr and Dean now face multiple charges, including Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the second, third, and fourth degrees. Additionally, Carr has been charged with Obstructing Governmental Administration, while Dean was found to have an active bench warrant from Jamestown City Court.
The pair are currently being held at the Jamestown City Jail, awaiting arraignment in Jamestown City Court. As are all persons accused of a crime, the accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
