The second man, 33-year-old Miguel Yasmir Williams of Herrington Road, faces charges related to possession of a stolen gun and the sale and possession of cocaine, police said. This comes after an incident on Feb. 10 in which Williams had a medical episode and was taken to Sentara Albemarle. An officer confiscated the contraband from Williams then, police said.

Williams is being held on a $250,000 secured bond.
