The search led to the arrest of three people. The sheriff’s office charged Gerald Courson, 49, of the 200 block of Dunbar Street, with trafficking methamphetamine in the first degree, distribution of methamphetamine in the first degree, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, possession of a firearm with a removed or obliterated serial number, possession of marijuana and four counts of possession of a controlled substance.
