FAIRMONT — A Fairmont teenager faces several charges after a residence was searched on Monday and a quantity of marijuana was found, according to Police Chief Jon Edwards.
Marquez McDowell, 18, is charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of a stolen firearm, and second-degree trespassing, Edwards said. He was jailed under a $50,000 bond.
The charges came after Fairmont police searched a home on the 500 block of McDaniel Street and seized about 200 grams of marijuana, digital scales, money and a firearm, which had been stolen in Cumberland County, Edwards said.
Edwards said McDowell’s mother lives at the address, which is public housing, and he had been banned from the property, which led to the trespass charge.
