(KAIR)--Hundreds of alleged fentanyl pills are seized, along with other drugs and weapons, following an Atchison County Sheriff's Department raid on an Atchison residence.

The search warrant, executed Tuesday at the home of Trevor Siard, located at 217 North 14th Street, led to the alleged recovery of what Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie identifies, in a release, as 300 fentanyl pills, suspected cocaine, marijuana, multiple drug paraphernalia items, two handguns, a shotgun with a barrel less than 18-inches, and other miscellaneous items.

The search warrant followed an earlier Tuesday attempt by Deputies to make contact with the 27-year-old Siard, as he walked near the intersection of 14th Street and Kansas Avenue. Instead of stopping, he fled on foot, dropping what Laurie says was a handgun that Deputies recovered, and was found, when finally stopped, “to be in possession of multiple pills believed to be fentanyl.”

The search of the residence followed, leading to the arrest of Siard for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of suspected cocaine, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, aggravated endangerment of a child, criminal use of weapons, distribution of drug paraphernalia, no drug tax stamp, and other pending charges.

Also arrested at the residence was 28-year-old Bristal Gann, of Atchison. Laurie says she was taken into custody on charges for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of suspected cocaine, possession with intent to distribute marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school, aggravated endangerment of a child, criminal use of weapons, distribution of drug paraphernalia, no drug tax stamp, and other pending charges.

Following their arrests, Siard and Gann were booked into the Atchison County Jail.
Deputies then, Laurie says, “contacted Kansas DCF to assist with the child endangerment issues and arrange placement for a 3-year-old child that was at the residence.”

According to Laurie, his office began the investigation after receiving crime tips and complaints about the alleged distribution of fentanyl from Siard's residence, with Laurie calling fentanyl “a major problem in Atchison County,” with his office to “continue to investigate the distribution of this deadly substance in our community.”
