Three Kewanee residents have been charged with weapons and drug offenses as the result of a Kewanee Police investigation initiated in response to a Jan. 19 shooting in the 100 block of South Grace Avenue in Kewanee.

According to a news release from the Kewanee Police Department, eight firearms were seized as well as several hundred rounds of ammunition, methamphetamine, heroin, cannabis, packaging materials, over $2,000 in cash and a vehicle.

The Henry County Special Operations Squad executed a search warrant for the residence at 504 Park Ave. in Kewanee, and nearby Irving School and Visitation Catholic School were put on lockdown for roughly 10 minutes during the execution of the search warrant.

The resident of the home, Justin K. Stanley, 18, was arrested.

A loaded 9mm handgun with an extended magazine with 27 rounds of ammunition was observed on a chair with Stanley's cell phone where methamphetamine was being packaged when entry was made.

During the search, patrol officers saw a white 2005 Chevrolet Malibu circling the area. A traffic stop was initiated, and four people were identified: Danny H. Stanley, 38, of Kewanee, Justin Stanley's father; Sara L. Brimhall, 31, of Kewanee; Daphne F. King, 21, of Galva; and the fourth person who was released with no charges.
