in the Mechanicsville area and the target of the investigation was Eldridge Eugene Shade aka “Al” (Age

County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Services Team and K-9 deputies. Detectives recovered cocaine

and heroin as well as cash, cellular phones and packaging materials. The drugs were packaged for sale

and additional charges are pending a review with State’s Attorney Richard D. Fritz. Suspect Shade is
