INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — One man who was serving probation for attempted murder, and one accused drug dealer were arrested in separate Multi-Agency Criminal Enforcement (MACE) busts on Friday and Saturday.
Terrance Taylor, 41, of the 4700 block of 39th Avenue in Vero Beach, was arrested Friday afternoon after police served a search warrant at his home that yielded three grams of crack cocaine.
Police also found a loaded Saiga 7.62 assault rifle inside a car located on the property.
Prior to his arrest Friday, Taylor was serving probation for attempted murder that began in October 2004 and was set to terminate in September 2019, according to the police report.
Taylor now faces felony charges including possession cocaine and violation of probation. He is being held without bond.
Rashard Williams, 23, was arrested at his home in the 3800 block of 42nd Lane in Vero Beach on Saturday afternoon.
Police collected two grams of crack cocaine, 12 hydromorphone pills, $351 in cash, and a digital scale from the residence out of which Williams told police he sells drugs, according to the arrest report.
Williams and his girlfriend both attempted to escape the residence upon authorities’ arrival. Police noted “several juveniles and two small children” under the age of five were present in the living room of the home at the time of the arrest, according to the official report.
Police also confiscated a 2003 Honda dirt bike found in a bedroom at the home with a partially removed serial number.
Williams is facing felony charges including possession of a controlled substance and possession of cocaine, and a misdemeanor charge of possession drug paraphernalia.
He was released from the Indian River County Jail on $7,500 bond.
No information in either police report pointed to any relation between the two separate drug busts.
