Authorities raided a Walden Avenue apartment last night and busted a drug dealer with drugs, cash and a weapon. Narcotics Units from the Sheriff's Department and Buffalo Police descended upon the residence late Friday night. 39-year-old Marius Austin was found to be in possession of a half kilo of cocaine along with a loaded pistol grip shotgun. The value of the coke was estimated at $20,000.

Austin was targeting suburban areas with his sales.

He is facing a series of charges, including an A1 felony for criminal possession of narcotics.
