WPS says around 5 a.m. on May 7, officers responded to reports of a fight within an apartment.
When officers arrived, they found several people within the apartment, along with drugs “in plain view.”
Officers immediately took all the individuals — four men in their 20s, three teenage boys between the ages of 13-15, and three women between the ages of 19 and 20 — into custody.

All ten individuals have since been charged with possession of cocaine with the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of property obtained by a crime.
Meanwhile, they have since been released on an undertaking as mandated by the Criminal Code.
