BINGHAMTON, NY (607NewsNow) – Three people face charges after a multi-agency detail in Broome County.

On February 5, multiple law enforcement agencies working in concert conducted an operation aimed at addressing violent crime and illegal drug activity in the western portion of the county.

After a traffic stop in the Village of Endicott, police say they found a gun and multiple controlled substances in Kenneth Jordan’s car. Jordan allegedly had a loaded 40. caliber pistol with a 14-round magazine, nearly 14 grams of crack, fentanyl, oxycodone pills, and cash.

The 61-year-old is charged with three counts of drug possession, including two with intent to sell, and two counts of gun possession, including one for having a loaded weapon outside of a home or business, and one for having a previous conviction.
