A multi-month investigation by Orlando police led to the arrest of a 32-year-old man after more than a dozen guns, over $20,000 in cash, and multiple drugs including MDMA and OxyContin were seized from two local homes.
According to the Orlando Police Department, an investigation was launched by the agency’s Drug Enforcement Division in February. A search warrant was then obtained for a residence, located near the intersection of Cadogan Avenue and Piedmont Street, that was frequented by Anthony Javion Littles.
OPD stated that during the search of the home, officers confiscated three firearms, nearly 80 grams of MDMA, more than 2,050 grams of cannabis, 25 grams of Psilocybin, and approximately 8.5 grams of OxyContin.
In addition, a total of $6,236 in cash was found, which appeared to be “linked to criminal transactions,” according to OPD.
On Thursday, July 25, with the help of a local SWAT team, OPD detectives executed a search warrant at a second residence, located near the intersection of North Lane and Signal Road, that Littles was known to use.
Inside the second home, detectives seized 13 firearms and just over $16,000 in cash that was allegedly “made through illegal means.” The police department stated that one of the recovered guns was stolen from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Washington, D.C., and two other firearms were stolen from victims in the Orlando area and Suwannee County.
Following Thursday’s search, Littles was arrested and booked into Orange County Jail. He is being charged with trafficking MDMA with a weapon, trafficking Oxycodone with a firearm, possession of Psilocybin, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Littles is scheduled to make his first appearance in court at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 26, according to Orange County Court records.
