According to a news release from the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, the search warrant for 204 E. Irving St. was a result of a narcotics investigation by deputies and METRICH.

The two targets of the investigation, a 25-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman who both reside at the address, were arrested and taken to the Crawford County Justice Center, according to the news release. Methamphetamines, prescription pills, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were seized from the residence.
