An investigation into an alleged sexual assault led to a drug raid at a southwest Birmingham home and the confiscation of nearly $100,000 in cash.

Birmingham police on Wednesday announced the arrest of Willie Eric Sims. He is 53.

On Jan. 3, detectives from Birmingham’s Special Victims Unit carried out a search warrant at a home on 19th Street S.W.

While searching the property, they spotted illegal drugs at the residence and called in narcotics investigators, according to Officer Truman Fitzgerald.

Drug detectives then obtained their own search warrant.

That search yielded $98,401 in cash, 2,710 grams of marijuana, 2,375 grams of cocaine, 34 grams of mushrooms, four THC vape pens and various prescription pills including Alprazolam, Ecstasy, Hydrocodone and Tramadol.

Sims is charged with first-degree sodomy, trafficking in marijuana, trafficking in cocaine, trafficking in amphetamines and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

He remains held in the Jefferson County Jail with bonds totaling more than $1.5 million.
