Tips about drug dealers led to two arrests and a stolen gun in Atlantic City last week.
Detectives Alberto Valles, Eric Evans and Christopher Dodson got information that William Snowden was selling drugs from a vehicle in the parking lot of Renaissance Plaza just after 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The detectives saw Snowden inside with another man, Lt. Kevin Fair said.
Police found him with 36 grams of cocaine, 53 grams of marijuana and paraphernalia used in drug distribution, according to the charges.
Snowden, 37, of Atlantic City, was charged with multiple drug offenses and released on a summons.
Less than 90 minutes later, the detectives acted on information about a man distributing drugs while in possession of a handgun, Fair said.
Darien Watson, 41, was found near Tennessee and Magellan avenues.
K-9 Officer Jesse Oliver-Logan's partner, Gee, helped lead to 7 grams of cocaine, Fair said.
The detectives also found a loaded handgun with hollow-point ammunition that was reported stolen from South Carolina.
Watson was charged with weapons and drug offenses, including unlawful possession of a weapon while committing a drug offense and receiving stolen property.
He is in the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
