Richmond Police, DEA Join Forces for Drug Take-Back

April 29, 2016

The Richmond Police Department, with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, will host a Drug Take-Back initiative from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30 at the Southside Community Center, 4100 Hull St.

Expired and unused prescription medications are a public safety issue that can lead to accidental poisoning, overdose, abuse and illegal sales. These medications cannot be turned in to your local pharmacy. Residents also are asked not to flush the prescriptions into the sewer system for environmental reasons.

“This is an excellent opportunity to dispose of unused or expired medications in a proper way,” said Captain Michael Zohab of the Department’s Special Investigations Division. “These medications should not be kept around the house. Bringing them to the Drug Take-Back event could save a life.”

All prescription medications collected will be incinerated according to federal and state environmental guidelines. Richmond Police asks that you do not bring syringes or illegal narcotics for disposal to the collection sites. Medical waste or bulk commercial medications will also not be accepted. Those disposing of medications may remain anonymous.

Law enforcement agencies across the country are hosting similar events. To find locations outside Richmond go to: http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/

Man Arrested, Drugs and Firearms Seized in Joint Narcotics Operation

April 19, 2016

As part of a regional multi-agency narcotics operation yesterday, one arrest has been made and drugs and firearms were seized following the execution of two search warrants in Richmond.

Richmond and Chesterfield police officers, who serve on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Drug Task Force, began this investigation more than three months ago. It culminated Monday evening with the arrest of Elbrendel A. Edwards. He was in possession of a firearm an half a kilogram of heroin at the time of his arrest. Two additional firearms were also located and seized.

Law enforcement officials are confident Edwards will be linked to several fatal heroin overdoses in the Richmond metropolitan area. He is expected to appear in federal court this afternoon to be charged with a drug-related offense.

The joint operation was conducted by the Richmond Police Narcotics Division along with the Chesterfield County Police Narcotics Unit and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Drug Task Force in Richmond, which includes members of the FBI, Virginia State Police, Chesterfield County Police, the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, Henrico Police and Richmond Police.

A national trend of spiking heroin and prescription drug overdoses has prompted Richmond Police and other regional agencies to partner together to identify and eradicate heroin distributors from local communities in order to protect citizens from this spreading hazard to public safety.

To holistically address the overdose epidemic, law enforcement throughout the Commonwealth will be conducting a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Effort from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 30.  A local drop-off point will be located at the Southside Community Service Center, 4100 Hull Street Road.
