A joint effort by the Addison Police Department and Winston County Sheriff’s Office led to a search warrant conducted at 315 Palmera Drive, where Glynnes Noel Williams, 36, and Alexander Ray Alexander, 25, both of that address, were taken into custody on numerous drug-related charges, according to Addison Police Chief Brett Rodgers.
Williams has been charged with unlawful distribution of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
Charges pending against Williams include chemical endangerment of a child, selling narcotics within a school zone and possession of marijuana first degree, law enforcement said.
Alexander has been charged with possession of marijuana first degree, possession of drug paraphernalia and dangerous drugs/drug sale near school, Rodgers added.
Charges pending against Alexander include distribution of a controlled substance to a minor under age 18, Rodgers added.
Cases against Williams and Alexander are being turned over to the Winston County grand jury, according to law enforcement officials.
