Fall River - Two city residents are facing a lengthy list of gun and drug charges following the serving of a warrant. Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Bernier said detectives with the Vice and Intelligence Unit along with Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Special Agent Mark DeSantis went to 37 Forest St. at approximately 5:30 p.m. Monday evening armed with a search warrant for the first floor apartment of Jordan Lewis and Marta Amorim. While watching the apartment, Detective Bryan Nadeau saw a man later identified as Lewis leave the residence and walk to Cottage and Forest streets, where he allegedly engaged in a hand-to-hand drug deal. Lewis was then confronted and presented with the search warrant as he returned home. Detectives then entered the hall, saw Amorim, and informed her of the warrant. During a search of the apartment police said they found a Sears and Roebuck Model 21, 12-gauge shotgun; a Davis Industries Model D-32, .32 caliber Derringer pistol; and an Iver Johnson Model 1900 revolver. Several rounds of different ammunition were also located, police said, as well as a bulletproof vest. Police also said they found approximately 12 ounces of marijuana along with plastic bags and two digital scales, while a small bag of marijuana was located in Amorim’s pocketbook. Police also found two plastic bags, one containing 53 Percocet pills and the other holding 56 Vicodin pills. Detectives were also able to locate a book containing information consistent with illegal drug distribution, a shoebox filled with $4,360, which police allege are proceeds from illegal drug sales, and an additional $715 on Lewis. Lewis and Amorim, both 24, of 37 Forest St. have been charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, possession to distribute Class D drugs, possession to distribute Class D drugs in a school zone; two counts of possession to distribute a Class B drug, two counts of possession to distribute a Class B drug in a school zone, three counts of possession of a firearm in felony, possession of ammunition without an FID card and three counts of possession of a firearm without an FID card. Amorim was also individually charged with possession of marijuana. Chief John M. Souza praised the work of the detectives involved. “Our Vice and Intelligence Division detectives continue on their mission to remove illegal firearms and drugs from the streets in our city,” Souza said. “This is now eight illegal firearms in recent weeks discovered through service of search warrants. These detectives will continue to assure that our city and streets are safe and, again, anyone possessing illegal firearms will be located and arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
