Four People face charges after police say a drug deal in Rockland devolved into violence early Wednesday.

Rockland Police were called to a downtown parking lot at about 2 am on a report of a woman being robbed at knifepoint. Officers say they spoke to a man and woman who made the complaint. Detective then followed a trail of blood from that location to a home, where two men were taken into custody.

They say drugs were seized during the investigation and a vehicle involved was seized for a search warrant.
Three of the four people involved were taken to a hospital, where they were treated and released for minor non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers arrested and charged all four people involved:

–William Yung (44 years old of Rockland): Felony Drug Trafficking, Aggravated Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Violation of Conditions of Release (Yung was out on bail for a prior felony drug trafficking at the time of his arrest).
