MICHIGAN — Two people were arrested following a St. Clair County Drug Task Force investigation that resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs, cash and a firearm earlier this week, authorities said.
According to officials, members of the St. Clair County Drug Task Force conducted a traffic stop on Jan. 14 near the Interstate 94 connector and 32nd Street. The driver, identified as 59-year-old Larenza Richey of Detroit, was found to be operating the vehicle without a valid driver’s license.
During a search of the vehicle, investigators discovered cocaine and heroin concealed inside a child’s car seat after a U.S. Border Patrol K-9 alerted to the presence of narcotics, authorities said. Investigators seized 26 grams of crack cocaine, 6 grams of powder cocaine, 8 grams of heroin and a large amount of U.S. currency.
Richey was taken to the St. Clair County Detention and Intervention Center and later arraigned in 72nd District Court. He was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, using a computer to commit a crime and maintaining a drug house. Bond was set at $25,000 cash or surety.
Later the same day, at approximately 6 p.m., task force members executed a search warrant in the 1400 block of 27th Street in Port Huron Township as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation.
Authorities said the resident, 45-year-old Scott Shreeve, was taken into custody following a traffic stop. During the search, investigators seized 144 grams of methamphetamine, prescription pills, ketamine, a digital scale, drug paraphernalia and a 20-gauge shotgun.
Shreeve was transported to the St. Clair County Detention and Intervention Center and arraigned in 72nd District Court on Jan. 16. He was charged with three counts of felony possession of a controlled substance. Bond was set at $50,000 cash or surety.
