Sarasota News Leader October 4, 2013 Page 82 NARCOTICS AND CURRENCY RECOVERED DURING ARREST The Sarasota Police Department Narcotics Unit, with the assistance of the Sarasota Police Department Street Crimes Unit, arrested a Sarasota man on Sept. 26 after executing a search warrant at the man's house, the Police Department has reported. Williams was charged with a felony count of Possession of Marijuana With Intent To Sell and Distribute Within 1,000 Feet of Public Housing and a misdemeanor count of Possession of Paraphernalia. Shelton G. Williams, 38, of 1865 20th St., Sarasota, reportedly had made repeated sales of marijuana at that address, a news release says. When Narcotics Unit detectives searched the house, the release continues, they found five of the larger type of plastic sandwich bags full of marijuana. The bags were in the kitchen next to the defendant's Florida Identification card, a digital scale with marijuana residue, a marijuana grinder and U.S. currency "that was in denominations consistent with street-level sales of narcotics," the release points out.
