Officers located three adult subjects and one child inside the home. During the search, they encountered 41-year-old Misty Neese, a renter at the residence. EPD supposedly found approximately 150 grams of methamphetamine on her person.

The suspect was arrested for Dealing Meth, Possession of Meth, and Possession of a Narcotic drug (Fentanyl). A total of about 160 grams of narcotics was allegedly recovered from the house.
