Feds: Muskegon man indicted for ‘arsenal’ of guns, drugs

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A Muskegon man has been indicted by a federal jury for an alleged “arsenal of weapons and drugs,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan announced Tuesday in a release.

Orlando Bernard Easter, 35, was charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute controlled substances, as well as two counts of being a felon in possession of firearms, according to the release.

Easter allegedly had cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine and MDMA, the attorney’s office says. He also had seven guns, including two that had been stolen and one with a serial number that had been obliterated, according to the office.

The attorney’s office says investigators seized more than $100,000 in cash and possessions like cars and jewelry, which had allegedly been purchased with drug trafficking proceeds.

“These allegations are serious and touch on two major threats to our communities: fentanyl and the spread of illegal firearms in the hands of prohibited persons,” said U.S. Attorney Mark Totten in a statement.
