A man was taken into custody this week after his son reported him to be in possession of a large quantity of drugs.

The Lawrence Police Department said an 11-year-old boy living in the city called 911 Wednesday to report finding drugs in his father's luggage. Additionally, he reported witnessing his father selling drugs.

Officers searched the home, reportedly finding more than 200 grams of heroin and fentanyl with combined estimated value of $8,500.

The boy's father,Yamil Mercado, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday morning on the charges of trafficking heroin over 200 grams and reckless endangerment of a child in Lawrence District Court.
