PITTSBURGH \u2014 Pittsburgh police say they discovered a \u201clarge narcotics distribution enterprise\u201d and arrested two people. Tens of thousands of dollars\u2019 worth of suspected drugs, cash, a loaded handgun and drug paraphernalia were seized from a Downtown apartment.<\/p>\n
According to police, the drugs were found at 23-year-old Mya Bryant\u2019s apartment at the 201 Stanwix Street Apartments. The drugs were found after officers obtained a warrant.<\/p>\n
Police say officers spotted Bryant with 24-year-old Kyree Hairston-Mitchell after he got out of a maroon Jeep outside the apartment building.<\/p>\n
Police said Hairston-Mitchell had fled from officers during an encounter on Pittsburgh\u2019s South Side several days earlier in the same vehicle. When officers confronted him again in Downtown Pittsburgh, investigators said he attempted to run a second time before being taken into custody.<\/p>\n
According to police, officers then searched Bryant\u2019s vehicle and allegedly found suspected drugs. Investigators said additional drugs and evidence were recovered after they executed a search warrant at Bryant\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n
Residents of the apartment building said they were surprised to learn what happened in their building.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw a lot of police cars were around here,\u201d one resident said. \u201cI don\u2019t feel safe. And now I knew there was something going on. Now I find out there was a drug dealer? No.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police also said a third person who was inside one of the vehicles was detained on an outstanding warrant from Ohio.<\/p>\n
