Wayne County, NY – A months-long narcotics investigation led to the arrest of a Lyons man after deputies executed two coordinated search warrants Friday morning, according to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives said the operation targeted suspected drug supply houses on Church Street and Water Street after numerous community tips identified 46 Church Street as a location of ongoing drug activity. During the search, officers allegedly found more than an ounce of crack cocaine and three handguns—one confirmed stolen.
According to investigators, Antwan Terry was arrested at the scene. He faces multiple felony charges including third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (with intent to sell), three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, defacing a firearm, and criminal possession of stolen property.
Terry was taken to the Wayne County Jail and is scheduled for arraignment at 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 19, 2025. Deputies said additional charges are pending as the investigation continues.
The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office credited the Citizens of Lyons for their role in reporting suspicious activity, noting that tips from the public helped build probable cause for the warrants. Agencies assisting in the operation included New York State Police, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, Geneva Police Department, and Seneca County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials emphasized that community cooperation was key in “shutting down drug houses” across the region.
