What started as a targeted search of a Millvale home on Evergreen Road turned into a major bust: police say they pulled 17 firearms, more than five pounds of marijuana, and over $15,000 in cash out of the residence. Two people, an adult and a juvenile, were taken into custody as officers picked through the evidence. The haul adds another headline-making seizure to Allegheny County’s busy year of gun and drug enforcement.
According to CBS Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Police Department’s narcotics, vice, and intelligence unit served a search warrant at the Evergreen Road address on Thursday morning. Investigators reported recovering the 17 guns, the marijuana stash, and the cash during the operation. Officers arrested Damion Tigney Sr. at the scene and detained a juvenile, with Tigney now facing multiple counts, including possession with intent to distribute and possession of a controlled substance. Police photos show a crowded display table of the firearms allegedly pulled from the home.
Charges and juvenile processing
Authorities have identified the adult suspect as Damion Tigney Sr., tied to the distribution and drug-possession charges laid out by investigators. Officials say the juvenile who was detained at the house will have any charges handled through the juvenile court system. Law enforcement has not yet released arraignment dates or information regarding bond for either case.
Who assisted in the operation
County police say the raid was a team effort, with assistance from Tarentum Police, Millvale Police, the Allegheny County Housing Authority, and Allegheny Juvenile Probation. The department publicly announced the arrests and shared photos of the seized firearms on social media, as reported by CBS Pittsburgh.
How the bust fits into wider enforcement
The Millvale raid is one piece of a broader push this year to get illegal weapons off the streets in and around Allegheny County. As outlined by the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, task-force operations tied to gun violence in the region have already turned up dozens of illegally possessed firearms during search-warrant sweeps in 2026.
Next steps in the case
The adult case against Tigney will proceed through the state criminal court, while the juvenile matter moves through Allegheny County’s juvenile system. As the prosecutions advance, court filings, arraignment details, and any bond decisions are expected to be made public through Allegheny County court records.
