(From the Parsons Police Department)On November 23, 2023 at approximately 11:00 a.m., Off. Frank Pousher, Cpl. Christian Smith and K9 Morgan were on patrol. They observed a 2010 Nissan Altima commit a traffic violation by failing to signal, in the area of 15th and Clark Ave. There they conducted a traffic stop of the vehicle. The driver and only occupant was found to be Damian Lajarwin-Gerre Williams, 33 years old of Parsons.
During the stop, K9 Morgan was deployed by Cpl. Smith and conducted an open-air sniff of the vehicle. K9 Morgan gave a positive alert to the vehicle. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, amounts of marijuana and paraphernalia were located, as well as more than 25 pills marked as controlled substance Oxycodone, which Williams was in unlawful possession of.
Williams was arrested for Possession of Controlled Substance with the intent to distribute, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and a traffic infraction of failure to signal.
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, an affidavit was sent to a judge for review, a bond was set for $5,000 cash or surety. Williams was subsequently transferred to the Labette County Jail, where he later bonded.
The pills are being sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab for analysis and identification, due to, in recent years, the nation has been plagued by counterfeit prescription pills that contain Fentanyl or other controlled substances. These pills are commonly referred to as “Dirty 30s’ and have caused fatal overdoses.
