NILES CHARTER TOWNSHIP — A Niles man was arrested last week on drug and weapons charges following the execution of a search warrant in Niles Charter Township.

Southwest Enforcement West detectives, along with Michigan State Police Niles Post troopers, executed a search warrant on Thursday, July 14 at a residence on Leisure Lane in Niles Charter Township. 

During the search, detectives located suspected crystal methamphetamine, oxycontin and clonazepam pills. A rifle and other evidence of drug trafficking was also seized. A male suspect, identified as 24-year-old Brock Moore of Niles, was located inside the venue. He was subsequently arrested and lodged at the Berrien County jail on felony drugs and firearms charges.
