Two arrested on drug and weapons possession charges

[Ban Hammer 14,281]

A drugs and weapons bust lands two people behind bars.

Troy police along with the Albany Sheriff's Department and the Rensselaer County DA announced the results of the sting Thursday morning.

Officials said they got a tip about illegal activity at the home of Charlotte and Daquan Scott.

When they raided the house, police said they found two illegal handguns, as well as about $6,000 worth of cocaine.

One of the guns that was seized originated in Florida and was used in a shooting in Albany.

Officials said five children were also living in the home.

Rensselaer County DA Patricia DeAngelis said, "Two handguns, fully loaded, accessible to five young children. That's obviously what is the most disturbing part of this case. Those two loaded handguns were found in an area that was fully accessible to those children, and that's quite frightening."

Charlotte and Daquan Scott face at least 21 years behind bars for weapons and drug possession. The DA's office said if they're able to bring federal changes against the couple, they could spend 50 years in prison.
