NSIB Seizes 3 Pounds Of Cocaine, 5 Guns In Search Of Vallejo Residence

NAPA COUNTY, CA —A man is facing charges in two counties after the Napa Special Investigations Bureau served a search warrant last week at his residence and found drugs, cash and several firearms, the Napa County Sheriff's Office said.

Napa law enforcement first came into contact with 28-year-old Vallejo native Joseph Collins last month when the Napa Police Department was conducting a patrol for drunk drivers and saw him speeding.

When stopped by officers, he was found with seven baggies, each of which contained a gram of suspected cocaine, the sheriff's office said.

The Napa Special Investigations Bureau — NSIB— which investigates drug trafficking and human trafficking in Napa County, began a follow-up investigation on Collins which included obtaining a search warrant for his residence in Vallejo.

It is alleged that during the search conducted Tuesday, Feb. 4, NSIB found three pounds of cocaine, packaging material, scales, cash, a money counter, MDMA powder and psilocybin mushrooms.

It is alleged Collins was also in possession of five firearms and multiple high-capacity magazines.

The sheriff's office said Monday that charges were being filed on Collins in both Napa and Solano counties.
