East Hampton Town police, teaming with the District Attorney's East End Drug Task Force, raided an East Hampton house on Tuesday morning and arrested two brothers on drug possession charges, as well as a weapons charge.

Frank A. Hanna and Franaldo Hanna were taken into custody following the raid.

According to police, "detectives seized quantities of cocaine, oxycodone, marijuana, drug scales, packaging material, cash, a .45 caliber handgun, and several long guns."

Frank Hanna was charged with felony possession of marijuana, meaning he allegedly had more than a pound, criminal possession of a weapon as a felony, as well as several misdemeanor drug possession charges, and a misdemeanor weapons possession charge.

Franaldo Hana was charged with the same felony marijuana charge as his brother was, as well as a misdemeanor drug possession charge.

They both are to be arraigned in East Hampton Town Justice Court on Wednesday. 

Frank Hanna had been arrested in  2012 after firing a shotgun in his house at 154 Springs Fireplace Road, wounding a friend, Frederick Stephens Jr. A press release sent out by police on Tuesday afternoon did not specify the address of the raid, nor the ages of the brothers.
