Four men have been charged with counts stemming from the executing of a search warrant in the early morning hours of April 29 at a southwest Austin home.

Phouminh Kullavongsa, Sythat Jay Pomysda, Kevin Bouulid Sithavongsa were arrested at around 7 a.m. Wednesday morning when Austin Police, the Mower County Sheriff’s Department and the Southeast Minnesota Narcotics Taskforce executed a search warrant at 1211 10th Avenue SW.

David William Ohm, listed owner of the home, was at work at the time and was arrested later in the day.

According to court records, all four have been charged with felony counts of third degree possession of narcotics, with intent to sell, receiving stolen property and fifth degree drug possession.

Kullavongsa received an addition felony charge for felon convicted of a violent crime in possession of a firearm.

According to reports, the police entered the house to serve the warrant and found Pomysda and Kullavongsa in the living room and Sithavongsa in an adjoining bedroom.

A search of the home turned up drug paraphernalia and torn plastic baggies lying about the residence.

A loaded Ruger 9mm handgun was also found under a couch with a spare, empty clip found on a corner shelf next to the couch. All four denied knowledge or ownership of the weapon, though Ohm told police later at the Law Enforcement Center that he thought the gun belonged to either Kullavongsa or Pomysda. Cell phones recovered at the residence belonging to Sithavongsa, Pomysda and Kullavongsa had narcotics-related text messages on them and Sithavongsa and Pomysda both had pictures of handguns and of Sithavongsa with handguns.

Police, checking on the Ruger, discovered it had been reported stolen in Biloxi, Miss. in 2000.

According to records, Sithavongsa admitted to living at the home while Kullavongsa claimed to just be visiting and Pomysda claimed to be homeless, moving between Austin and Rochester.

The report also stated that plastic bags in a waste basket in the kitchen tested positive for methamphetamines as well as a broken drug pipe. Police also found white crystals and a spoon containing residue that tested positive for meth in the room Kullavongsa was staying.

A water pipe for meth and two digital scales also tested positive for meth and a broken marijuana pipe lying on a table was linked to Kullavongsa.

Sithavongsa, during questioning, denied involvement with meth and claimed only to use marijuana and admitted that he was aware of both drug sales and use at the home. Both Kullavongsa and Ohm admitted to use in the week previous, but Ohm denied sales.

Kullavongsa told police that the pipe found in the waste basket he had been standing next to was handed to him by an unknown subject who had left the scene before the warrant was executed.

Pomysda admitted to police he had been a former meth user with his last contact about five months prior, but during questioning, Pomysda changed his story a few times, claiming he used meth two weeks prior and then the night prior, saying he used with Kullavongsa and another unidentified man.

All four will be held pending bail.
