NORTON SHORES, Mich. — A Norton Shores man will spend time in prison for possessing and intending to distribute methamphetamine pills, cocaine and MDMA.
Anthony Bradell McMillan, 37, will spend seven years in prison followed by three years of supervised release. This comes after he pleaded guilty to a possession with intent to distribute controlled substances charge back in April.
The investigation into McMillan began on Jan. 21 when neighbors called police saying that he was assaulting his girlfriend. Officers responded to the home, but received no answer when they knocked.
McMillan's girlfriend eventually came out of the home and was injured, according to police. Officers at the scene confirmed that McMillan had been abusing her and threatened her with a pistol during the incident. Police say that McMillan was not permitted to own a firearm due to a previous felony conviction.
After obtaining a search warrant, officers found digital scales, controlled substance packaging material and MDMA pills. In the yard, investigators found a trash bag containing a a .45 caliber Glock 21 pistol, over 2,700 methamphetamine pills, over 100 grams of cocaine and a banking card with McMillan’s name on it.
Police say McMillan placed the trash bag outside after officers arrived at the scene.
McMillan was then taken into custody without incident.
“Mr. McMillian helped flood our communities with potentially lethal drugs and has a history of domestic violence, including the circumstances that gave rise to this case,” said U.S. Attorney Mark Totten. “Disrupting the flow of poisons that are taking so many lives and protecting victims of gender-based violence are central to our mission.”
