Two men - one wanted for murder - are in custody after a drug bust in Marion Thursday.

The Marion Police Narcotics Unit raided two homes on West Boulevard Street. Investigators say heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, cash, and ammunition were all found in addition to the two suspects.
Thirty-two year old Kerry Jones-Bills is being held on delivery of a controlled substance, and possession with intent to deliver crack and heroin charges. He also had an outstanding murder warrant from Milwaukee, Wisconsin dating back to September of 2016.

Twenty-nine year old Antwon Brown was also arrested on drug possession and ammunition possession charges.

Both men are being held in the Williamson County Jail.

The raid collected more than 100 grams of crack and more than 18 grams of heroin, as well as drug paraphernalia and weighing equipment.
