Man found with thousands of pills and other drugs

A Middlesex Township man is facing two different sets of charges related to copious amounts of drugs found in his home.

Both the Butler County Drug Task Force and the Middlesex Township Police filed charges Thursday against William Blackham, 26, which cumulatively include nine felony counts of drug sales.

Across both cases, Blackham was also charge with multiple misdemeanors, including two counts of possessing drug paraphernalia, one count of drug possession and two counts of DUI.

While Middlesex Township Police filed their charges based on a traffic stop in April, Butler County detectives found the brunt of drugs during a Wednesday search of Blackham’s home.

According to charging documents, task force members found 267 meth pills, 79 MDMA pills, 504 alprazolam pills, five oxycodone pills, 1,456 psilocybin mushroom capsules, 1,928 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, 90 grams of DMT, 26 grams of ketamine, 31 grams of MDMA, 20 grams of cocaine and 29 individually-rolled marijuana cigarettes.

The documents also reported task force members found $12,150 in cash, $7,000 in counterfeit cash, two pistols and one .223-caliber rifle.
