At the State Circle property, police reportedly found two 9mm handguns and ammunition, a stolen .45 caliber handgun and ammunition, approximately .02 grams of crack cocaine, and a digital scale. The search at the Harmony Lane home led police to find a 9mm handgun and ammunition, approximately 34.30 grams of crack cocaine, and a digital scale.

It was also learned that Ian Tolson is a convicted felon prohibited from possessing firearms and/or ammunition. He was held at SCI on a $105,500 cash bond on a list of drug and firearm charges, as well as two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
