According to court records, 19-year-old Ty'erre Smith is charged with 55 counts total, including 27 counts of possession of a controlled substance and 28 counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
These charges were filed on Tuesday, February 10 after a probation search at a home on the 1000 block of George Street Extension, according to a criminal complaint.
When police got to the home, a probation agent took officers to the basement of the home, where Smith was handcuffed on the floor. Police say there was a bag containing a rocky white substance with loose white powder at the edge of the bed, as well as a digital scale.
Additionally, police say there was a live bullet on the bed. According to the complaint, Smith is not allowed to possess firearms or ammunition because he is on probation.

- A Glock slide back plate
- A box of Blazer ammunition
- Assorted rifle and pistol ammo

Smith was arraigned on Tuesday, February 10, and is due back in court on February 20 for a preliminary hearing.
