MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A dad has been charged with child abuse and neglect after police say his 16-year-old son was found lying on a loaded gun during a drug raid early Wednesday morning at a Midtown house.
Detectives with the DRT Team 6 and MPD Fugitive squad said they found at least three loaded handguns, a loaded shotgun, and drugs throughout the home in the 1200 block of Snowden Avenue.
Master Jefferson, 43, and another man at the home, Andre Kuvers, 44, were taken into custody and are facing weapons and drug charges. Both were charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a gun.
Detectives said they found several bags of colored powders consistent with fentanyl, crack cocaine rocks, marijuana, cash, and drug paraphernalia inside the house. They said they also found three large bags of powder consistent with fentanyl hidden under a roof shingle on the back of the home.
A woman outside the Snowden Avenue house Thursday afternoon said she was the mother of the 16-year-old boy.
She said she was upset police questioned her son for hours without a parent and said her son, Jefferson, and Kuvers did not live at the house. She said they were visiting the home when police showed up.
MPD said Jefferson was sitting on one of the handguns when detectives executed the narcotics search warrant. He is being held on a $600,000 bond.
Both men are scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
