On June 18 shortly after 8:30 p.m., Bucks County Rangers were on patrol at Silver Lake Park located along Bath Road in Bristol when they observed a Toyota driving on county-owned property. Police observed that the vehicle was breaking several summary violations so they conducted a traffic stop.
Long, who was driving, was found to be in possession of several small plastic bags containing a white chalky substance, which police suspect to be crack cocaine. In a search of the vehicle, police uncovered a plastic bag in the center console with suspected marijuana inside. Police also found green pills and more suspected crack cocaine in the center console, according to court papers.
Police also discovered a loaded silver .25 caliber Titan semi-automatic firearm next to a child’s car seat. The firearm was found with five rounds with one round in the chamber and the hammer cocked back, court records stated.
