Impounded.Three men, Bruce Ceasar, Terrick Murray and Santos Diaz were taken into custody. Now face charges related to possessing and planning to sell cannabis. Ceasar is also in trouble for getting in the way of law enforcement officers when they came to search the place while Diaz has been accused of having equipment used for drugs. This all started when deputies from the Broward Sheriffs Office showed up at the residence on July 4th after getting a call, about gunfire. The scene was chaotic. There was a angry crowd and the deputies were met with threats of violence as soon as they got there.The investigation that followed revealed a pattern. Drugs were indeed being sold on the property.
