LARGO - City police arrested four men Thursday on charges of drug possession and confiscated 3 pounds of marijuana worth up to $3,000, said Largo police Sgt. Stephen Slaughter.

Christopher Chin, 23, Jason Morrison, 26, and Shaun Jackenheimer, 25, all of Largo, were each charged with one count of felony possession of cannabis and one count of possession of narcotic paraphernalia. Derek Swinski, 21, of Clearwater was visiting friends at the residence in the 600 block of Fourth Avenue NE when officers arrived and found him smoking marijuana, Slaughter said. Swinski was charged with one count of possession of cannabis. Officers served a search warrant on the home around 9:45 p.m. Thursday. Undercover officers had purchased marijuana from the men several times in the past few months, Slaughter said. Additional charges against the four are pending, Slaughter said.
