A Chadron man has been arrested for methamphetamine and marijuana.
On May 14 Chadron Police Officer Edward Grentz invested a report of the use of a stolen credit card at a local Chadron business.
Officer Grentz applied for a search warrant for a residence on Morehead Street to search for the reported stolen credit card.
"During the service of the search warrant, officers contacted 23 year-old Tristan King in the front yard of the home," Chadron Police Chief Richard Hickstein said. "During the search, the stolen credit card was recovered. Additionally, officers observed suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia during the initial search. As a result, a second search warrant was obtained and numerous items were seized, including suspected methamphetamine, suspected marijuana, and drug paraphernalia."
Hickstein said officers also found plastic bags, pipes and rolling papers.
King was arrested for possession of methamphetamine (Class IV felony), possession of marijuana less than one ounce (infraction) and possession of drug paraphernalia (infraction).
King's bond was set at 10% of $10,000.
20 year-old Gabrielle King, also a resident of the home, was issued a citation for possession of marijuana less than one ounce (infraction), possession of drug paraphernalia (infraction).
The Chadron Police Department was assisted by the Nebraska State Patrol and Western Intelligence Narcotics Group (WING).
