The RNC gave media a glimpse of what they recovered during Friday’s drug bust on Mayor Avenue.

Displayed for the cameras were two realistic looking pellet guns, brass knuckles, bear spray, various knives, cocaine, cutting agents, cell phones and note books.

Three people were arrested during the Friday’s raid.

One woman was charged with possession of a prohibited drug and released to appear in court at a later date.

Sean Jamal Dunn, 26, was charged with possession of a prohibited drug for the purpose of trafficking and two counts of possession of a prohibited weapon. He is being held in custody but will make another court appearance on Tuesday.

Trevor Gary Ryland, 24, was charged with possession of a prohibited drug for the purpose of trafficking. He was released today and will appear again in court next month.

Tim Jamison, the weapon you are referring to is a pellet gun made to look like a micro-uzi. While still a weapon, it is nothing like an Uzi besides the similar look.

A micro-Uzi? That's scary. This is a clear indicator of how gun control does not work. That is an illegal weapon because it is fully automatic and because of it's tiny size, yet there it is. It's also a clear indicator of what the drug war does. A licensed drug retailer would not be keeping a micro-Uzi under the counter. Because he can call the police when someone robs him. Stupid laws to make stupid people "feel" safe, rather than increasing actual safety as much as possible.

  You think its a micro uzi? Are you serious? Read the article instead of just flying off at the finger tips after looking at a photo.
