The Ponca City Police Department Tactical Team assisted the Special Projects Unit in a search warrant early this morning at a residence in the 1200 block of South Ninth Street.
A city park sits directly behind the home and that fact heightens the charges against all seven of those arrested, police spokeswoman Sherry Bowers said.
Just after 4:30 a.m., officers entered the home, Bowers said. A search of the residence yielded guns and illegal drugs.
