Drug task force arrests two

A Detroit man and Morgantown woman are in jail after a Thursday morning search at an apartment on Van Voorhis Road.

Alvin Cornilius-Laden Gist, 38, and Jann Carmesha Moss, 39, are each charged with five counts of possession with intent by the Mon Metro Drug Task Force.

The task force had a search warrant for an apartment at Woodline Apartments to “seek evidence” that Moss and Gist were delivering and distributing controlled substances, according to a criminal complaint. The two were inside the apartment where “bulk heroin, cocaine base, marijuana, crystal methamphetamine, and Oxycodone,” were found.

The drugs were individually packed for retail level sale and in bulk packaging, the complaint said. Scales and packaging materials were also found.

Gist and Moss are both being held in North Central Regional Jail.

They were arraigned by Magistrate Sandy Holepit who set bond at $200,000 each.

A task force officer told The Dominion Post more information was unavailable because the investigation was ongoing.
