Four Picked up in Drug Bust

On Wednesday, officers of the McKean County Drug Task Force, Bradford City, and Bradford Township Police conducted operations in the City of Bradford. Arrested were Leonard Lionel Holmes, AKA “Phil Brooks”, age 25 of Buffalo, Kennedy D. Gadley, Jr., AKA “PJ”, age 26 of Buffalo, Irvin Mitchell, age 27, of Buffalo, and Angel Fenton, age 18, of Bradford.

The arrests were made after officers of the McKean County Drug Task Force conducted controlled purchases of suspected crack cocaine. A search warrant was subsequently executed at a residence at 189 Congress Street in the City of Bradford. Seized in the operation was approximately 35 grams of suspected cocaine, and smaller amounts of Heroin and Marijuana. Also seized were a handgun, $2,400 in cash, and a computer.

Statements from District Attorney Raymond Learn: “Getting drugs and drug dealers out of McKean County remains a top priority with my office. We have received many tips and complaints from concerned citizens regarding the residence and individuals involved in the operation today. If it was not for that information, these arrests may not have happened. The officers involved in this operation worked tirelessly to get these drugs off the streets and arrest those who sell them. I cannot say enough about the dedication these officers have shown to their community. They spend hours and sometimes days away from their families to make our communities safer places to live, and I salute them for it. I also want to encourage members of the public to report any suspected drug activity that they to the McKean County Drug Task Force Confidential Tip Line at 887-3232.”
