Three arrested after pot find
Three men were arrested Thursday after a search of a home in the first block of Fairfield Street turned up several pounds of marijuana, a Glock handgun and a large amount of currency, according to court papers.
In arrest documents filed with Cumberland County Magisterial District Judge Susan Day, Detective Keith Seibert of the Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office wrote that the search also yielded packing material and scales.

Kell said he was the tenant, Seibert wrote, and Stever was in possession of the currency. A check on the handgun revealed that it had been reported stolen, Seibert wrote.
All three were charged with unlawful possession of marijuana with intent to deliver; unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia; and receiving stolen property. They were lodged in Cumberland County Prison on $100,000 bail. Their preliminary hearings were set for 1:45 p.m. today.
