According to a press release provided by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, representatives of the three aforementioned offices executed a search of the residence of Michael Griffith on Burgess Road.

According to the release, during the search officers located three firearms, a small baggie with white residue and several empty baggies, $8,000 in cash and a container containing .22 ammunition.

The subject outside was identified as Brandon Waldon, age 21 of Glenwood. The second subject, identified as Michael Griffith, age 28 of Bonnerdale, was taken into custody when he exited the front door of the residence.
The release states that after the home was cleared, officers reentered the house and located a .22 pistol in a laundry basket. They also located a holster with two loaded magazines.
Both subjects were transported to the Montgomery County Jail.
Griffith was charged with simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, possession of a schedule II controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of firearm by certain person. He is currently being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
Waldon was charged with possession of a schedule II controlled substance and he was later released on a $5,000 bond.
