Shyheim Franklin, 35, has been arrested on felony charges, after an early-morning raid of his 185 St. Mark’s Pl. apartment in St. George turned up a gun and drugs, police allege.
The raid took place Friday at 6:15 a.m. — members of the Staten Island Gang Squad used a warrant to search Franklin’s apartment, where under his mattress they reported finding a sock with a .32 caliber Serrifile Inc. Terrier One revolver and five rounds of ammo inside, according to court papers. Franklin’s criminal record means he has no business possessing a gun, according to court papers.
Police also found 41 glassines of heroin in a safe under his bed, a Xanax pill in a plastic zipper bag on his bedside table, and a scale alongside empty bags and glassines under his bed, court papers allege.

Reports Baller Alert:
Kerry Rhodes refuses to twerk out the closet. The NFL star was first exposed by his alleged ex-gay lover Russell “Hollywood” Simpson last week.
