FAIR HAVEN—On Friday morning, May 19, Vermont State Police (VSP) seized 25 firearms —which included rifles, handguns and a semi-automatic weapon — as well as hundreds of rounds of ammunition, crack cocaine and fentanyl from a drug distribution organization in Fair Haven. 

The Vermont State Police Drug Task Force, Field Force, and Tactical Services Unit coordinated with local and federal agencies, including the Fair Haven Police Dept. and the FBI, to seize the firearms and illicit drugs during the early morning, with a search warrant.

John Muzzy, 32, of Fair Haven and his girlfriend Rebecca “Becca” Ross, 39, are facing federal drug charges in connection with a raid at their residence at 596 West St. 

Initial hearings in U.S. District Court in Burlington were scheduled for Tuesday, May 23.
