Four men trafficking and dealing in cocaine and cannabis were arrested on Tuesday night on Wilton Avenue, but not before one opened fire on Orange County Sheriff’s deputies, as he attempted to flee.
Orange County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a “shots fired” call on 1827 Wilton Avenue, Orlando, where they made contact with two known violent drug dealers outside a residence. Neither of the suspects would cooperate with investigators or verify whether or not anyone inside the home was hurt, according to a statement by deputies. Investigators then began a well-being check of the home by accessing the rear door when they observed another man trying to run with a gun in his hand. The man dropped the gun and attempted to escape on foot through the front door. Deputies gave chase and he was apprehended shortly thereafter. A second man was taken down at the front door, at gun point. Detectives observed in full view the handgun, Cannabis and a loaded Smith and Wesson 9mm.
Deputies placed the four men, three of whom are from Orlando under arrest. They are:
- Ashley White, 28 years
- Shawn Glenn, 29 years
- Bernard Bush, 28 years
- Markcus Green, 28 years
