A 37-year-old South Kona man faces drug and firearms charges after his home off Napoopoo Road was raided by police Friday.
Wayland Beck is charged with first- and second-degree promotion of a dangerous drug, marijuana possession and two unregistered firearms.
Bail was set at $36,000.
According to police, officers seized about 200 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 62 grams of marijuana, a digital scale, a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol, a .308 caliber rifle and drug paraphernalia.
