COLUMBIA (WACH) – Columbia Police seized drugs, weapons and cash from a residence located at 219 South Bull Street.

Members of the department’s Drug Suppression Team received a tip through CrimeStoppers and executed a search warrant at the house on Thursday.

Roland Maurer, 20, was arrested and is charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana after authorities found three pounds of marijuana, several weapons and more than $16,000 in cash.

Police say they are also searching for William Newell and Justin Owings in connection with the investigation.

Court documents show that Newell was arrested, but charges were dropped in 2012.
