KVET Investigation Leads to Arrest, Seizure of Drugs and Handgun
Published on February 13, 2026
On February 10th, 2026, members of the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team (KVET) and Crime Reduction Team (CRT) executed a search warrant in the 1300 block of Concord Place Dr, in the Township of Oshtemo, following an investigation into drug sales.
The suspect was contacted while he was seated in a vehicle and arrested without incident. A search of his vehicle yielded controlled substances. Following his arrest, a search of his residence was conducted which yielded an unregistered firearm, various forms of controlled substances, evidence of drug manufacturing and distribution, and US currency, which is believed to be profits of drug sales. The firearm, which was equipped with an extended magazine, had been modified with a “switch,” thus making it a fully automatic handgun.
The suspect, Darius Frazier, 24, was arrested and lodged at the Kalamazoo County Jail on the following charges:
- Possession with Intent to Deliver - Heroin / Fentanyl
- Possession with Intent to Deliver - Cocaine
- Weapons - Firearms – Devices to Convert Semiautomatic to Automatic
- Felony Firearm
- Prohibited Person in Possession of a Firearm
- Prohibited Person in Possession of Ammunition
Frazier had been previously convicted of felony charges and cannot legally possess a firearm or ammunition. Additionally, he was recently released from prison in 2025 for weapon related offenses. On February 12th, 2026, Fraizer was arraigned in the 8th District Court. He was issued a $200,000 cash or surety bond.
