Irvin was charged with three counts each of felony drug sales and misdemeanor use and possession of drug paraphernalia. Young was charged with one count of drug sales and four misdemeanors use and possession of drug paraphernalia. Brown was charged with four felonies, including drug sales and prohibited possession of a firearm, and four misdemeanor of use and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to documents, Young, Brown and Irvin were found near an extensive amount of paraphernalia during the 6 a.m. search.
Police said a half pound of marijuana, a digital scale and four grams of suspected crack cocaine were found next to Young.

A “brick” amounts to 50 stamp bags, meaning there were 700 bags of suspected heroin/fentanyl.
Young’s preliminary hearing was scheduled Nov. 13, Irvin’s was scheduled Dec. 7, and Brown’s has not yet been scheduled.
