FARMINGTON – Two local men were arrested Thursday night after police reportedly found illegal drugs and cash in their Broadway apartment.
Officer Michael Lyman and Sgt. Edward Hastings of the Farmington Police Department searched the downtown residence after obtaining a warrant as part of an ongoing investigation that started two weeks ago when they received information on a possible drug trafficking operation downtown.
According to Police Chief Jack Peck, the officers found “several grams” of cocaine along with various pills, a few pounds of marijuana and cash during a search of the apartment.
Omer Havten, 20, was arrested and charged with Class A felony aggravated trafficking in a scheduled drug.
Police also arrested Jonathan Toothaker, 23, and charged him with violating the conditions of release, allowing a minor to possess alcohol and furnishing of drugs.
Both men were transported to the Franklin County Detention Center.
Good that the informant payroll has not been cut. Let them eat their own .They dont even know who is the rat.
Good work
Two more good reasons to bring back capital punishment.
Mizer is right! We need harsher punishment! These folks just can’t seem to concentrate on living productive lives and avoiding crime. But executing perfectly able-bodied people with concentration problems for nonviolent offenses seems like it might be a waste. Maybe there’s some kind of “camp” we can set up for people with problems concentrating. I even have an idea for what to name it.
…Seriously, what the hell is with the level of discourse in this country right now…
Mizer may want to take a look at the countries that execute drug dealers. It reads like a who’s who of the worst regimes on earth. Making America more barbaric with bad policy should be called out these days, even for offhand comments like his.
Stop people from wanting hard drugs and maybe the business of selling drugs will go away? Or we can keep spending enormous amounts of tax dollars on jails and law enforcement to hide them away from plain view.
Samo, you’ve got it. Prevention.
Legalize everything and things will get better for all.
