(CNN) Police in North Carolina found a real gun disguised as a Nerf toy while conducting a drug raid in Catawba County, north of Charlotte, this week. The firearm was among 20 guns -- pistols, rifles and shotguns -- that investigators found during the home search Wednesday, along with cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana. "Firearms of this type, while not illegal to possess, are concerning to law enforcement," the release said. "Firearms, in general, are commonly seized in conjunction with searches where felony amounts of narcotics are present." Damien Alonzo Burch, 35, of Catawba was arrested and charged with felonious possession of cocaine, felonious possession of mushrooms and misdemeanor possession of marijuana, the release said.
