Healdsburg police officers say they found a pretty serious stash of drugs, drug-selling stuff, guns and ammo inside a home on the east side of Healdsburg last Thursday morning, as “part of an ongoing drug sales investigation” here in town. They say they arrested a 68-year-old resident named Kerry Bergman, who’s now facing four different charges.

Here’s what cops found at the house, according to a Facebook post from the Healdsburg Police Department​:

🔫 Two revolvers located next to ammunition
💊 Multiple bags of suspected methamphetamine
📦 Various packaging and sales materials
🛍️ A significant quantity of clear individual plastic bags

And these are the charges Kerry Bergman is now up against:

⚖️ Possession of a controlled substance while armed with a firearm
⚖️ Possession of a controlled substance for sale
⚖️ Felon in possession of a firearm
⚖️ Prohibited person from owning/possessing ammunition

Also! Just a couple of days earlier, on the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 22, Healdsburg police say they pulled over a Santa Rosa man who was speeding across Memorial Bridge in a little blue convertible — only to find another big drug and gun stash in his car. Alongside a “juvenile” riding in the car, no less.

This is what was in the car, per police officials:

🔫 Two loaded firearms with large capacity magazines
💊 Multiple bags of suspected cocaine
📦 Various packaging and sales materials
💊 Numerous prescription medications
💥 A homemade destructive device
🛡️ Various calibers of ammunition

“Following this incident, our officers also executed a residential search warrant in Santa Rosa, uncovering additional evidence,” the Healdsburg Police Department says in their Facebook post. Charges against 41-year-old Santa Rosa resident Zachary Gillis-Jones now include:

⚖️ Felony child endangerment
⚖️ Transporting a controlled substance for sale
⚖️ Possession of a controlled substance while armed with unregistered firearms
⚖️ Carrying a concealed firearm a vehicle
⚖️ Possession of a destructive device
⚖️ Possession of large capacity magazines
⚖️ Possession of armor-piercing ammunition
