Warren, MI — A Detroit man is facing multiple felony charges after authorities say he was distributing narcotics in and around Warren following a joint investigation by the Macomb County Sheriff’s Enforcement Team (SET).
Roland White, 36, of Detroit, was taken into custody on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, after detectives executed search warrants at a residence in the 18800 block of Moenart Street in Detroit, near 7 Mile Road and Mound Road.
The Sheriff’s Enforcement Team — which includes detectives from both the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office and the Warren Police Department — carried out the operation with assistance from the Detroit Police Department Major Violators Unit.
According to investigators, the search of the residence resulted in the seizure of several narcotics and weapons, including approximately 5 grams of fentanyl, about 16 grams of crack cocaine, a Micro Drago firearm, and a Bushmaster rifle that had been reported stolen out of Indiana. Authorities also recovered magazines and ammunition, $1,971 in U.S. currency, and a Chevrolet Tahoe.

Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said the arrest highlights the department’s commitment to targeting narcotics traffickers operating in the county.
