Four arrests were made Friday for possession of illegal drugs and paraphernalia by the I-135/I-70 Drug Task Force, two of which were unexpected.
Lt. Jim Norton, commander of the task force, said officers were serving warrants at trailer homes on Lot 43 and Lot 18 at 917 N. 13th between 1 and 2:30 p.m. Friday.
An agent was stationed behind the trailer at Lot 18 when officers knocked and announced their presence, he said. Apparently, the residents of Lot 17 thought their trailer was being raided, as the agent saw two people throwing packets of drugs and paraphernalia out the back window or their trailer, Norton said. The owner gave task force members permission to search, and there they arrested John M. Coburn, 18, and Darin D. Gordon, 18, for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Occupants of the trailer at Lot 18 were not home, but drug items were found, Norton said. Charges are pending.
At Lot 43, Jimmy Wells, 20, and Dena M. McDaniel, 28, were arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana. Wells faces an additional charge of possession of methamphetamine.
