Nine men were charged after a drug bust at a Memphis home, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said, with the charges announced on Friday 6 November 2026.[1] The arrests came from a search warrant executed at an address along Bethel Avenue near Thomas Street in Uptown, a neighbourhood on the north edge of downtown Memphis.[1] The sheriff’s office said the warrant was part of a narcotics investigation.[1]

Detectives seized 2.5 pounds (about 1.13 kg) of marijuana and 434 grams (about 0.43 kg) of THC wax inside the home.[1] The same search turned up 320 Alprazolam, 190 Oxycodone, 57 Ecstasy, 48 Hydrocodone and 13 amphetamine pills, 18 Suboxone strips and five handguns.[1]

Each of the nine men faced possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture, deliver or sell, the sheriff’s office said.[1] The sheriff’s office also charged them with possessing or employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, and several with firearm theft or possession of a handgun as a convicted felon.[1] Two of the men, Tremayne Scales, 41, and Torrey Thomas, 35, also faced possession of ecstasy with intent to manufacture, deliver or sell.[1]
