A Thursday morning narcotics search warrant led to the arrest of a Greenville man and the seizure of stolen firearms and prescription narcotics, according to the Greenville Police Department.
Around 8 a.m. on October 9, the department’s Special Response Team (SRT) and Special Enforcement Team (SET) executed a warrant at 333 Muscadine Street. Inside the home, officers reported finding a prescription bottle containing a felony amount of Schedule III Tylenol with Codeine (9 dosage units). Investigators also located two loaded 9mm handguns—a Glock and a Sig Sauer—that police say were confirmed stolen.
The subject of the warrant, 38-year-old Cordaro Franklin, of Greenville, was taken into custody and charged with: Felony Possession of Stolen Property, Felony Possession of Stolen Firearms (x2), Felon in Possession of a Firearm (x2), and Felony Possession of Schedule III Tylenol with Codeine with Intent to Sell and Distribute (9 dosage units).
Franklin was transported to the Washington County Regional Correctional Facility, where he awaits an initial court appearance.
Police remind the public that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
