A Lancaster Township man is charged with numerous felonies for having thousands of prescriptions pills, cocaine, marijuana and a loaded pistol with an obliterated serial number.
The Lancaster County Drug Task Force raided Clarence Word’s Edgewood Avenue home last week and seized the drugs, along with $5,310 cash.
Word has a prior felony conviction for drug-dealing which prohibits him from having firearms. The .380-caliber pistol at his home was altered so the weapon could not be tracked.
Word, 56, was arraigned on seven felonies and a misdemeanor. He posted $250,000 bail on Wednesday, via a bondsman.
Following an investigation that included surveillance, the Drug Task Force found during the Sept. 26 search:
- 1,800 tablets of Tramadol Hydrochloride, a painkiller
- 900 tablets of Tapentadol, an opioid and painkiller
- 900 tablets of Carisoprodol, a muscle relaxer
- 7 grams of crack cocaine
- About 3 ounces of marijuana
- A loaded .380-caliber Hi-Point pistol
- A digital scale
- An owe sheet to track sales
- Drug-packaging materials
- $5,310 cash
Word is presumed innocent.
