Previous Wexford St. drug arrest
Timothy Ryan Frye, 37, of Wexford Street in the City of Belleville was arrested on drug charges about a year ago. His residence on Wexford is not the same address as the location of the April 19, 2022 drug bust.
He was arraigned Oct. 6 at 34th District Court on ten charges that are dated April 14, 2021.
Frye’s preliminary exam was Oct. 25 before Judge Brian A. Oakley, who bound him over to the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice for a Nov. 8 arraignment on the information. Although he was given $5,000 personal bond on the ten charges in Belleville, he was not released and has been held at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility in Jackson since his arrest. He was held on pending charges in Monroe County and parole violations in Wayne County.
Frye was charged with: delivery / manufacture of methamphetamine, delivery/manufacture of narcotic or cocaine less than 50 grams, delivery/manufacture (added to Schedule 4 by Board Rule), carrying a concealed weapon, firearms possession by felon, ammunition possession by felon, and four felony firearm counts. The first three counts call for double penalties because it is at least the second time he has had such charges.
At the preliminary exam, a Western Wayne Narcotics team witness testified that among the things police found at his home were 55 grams of methamphetamine, 37+ oxycodone, 173 Zanex, equipment for drug sales, and double-edged brass knuckles with a blade.
After several court sessions before Circuit Court Judge Thomas M. Hathaway, Frye’s final conference is set for June 1.
