LEON COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) — A variety of drugs, counterfeit cash, and two guns are off the streets after the Leon County Sheriff's office served a search warrant at a home near a church on North Woodward Avenue.

The Leon County Sheriff's Office says that they searched a home in the 1100 block of North Woodward Avenue on Friday, July 12.

During the search, detectives discovered two firearms, MDMA (Ecstasy) tablets, crack cocaine, powder cocaine, hydrocodone, counterfeit money and an undisclosed amount of actual money.
