Dennis Martin and Savannah Martin

(KAIR)--The execution of a search warrant, at an Atchison residence, sends a father and daughter to jail on drug related charges.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says arrested, following the late Wednesday night raid at 415 Riley Street, were 50-year-old Dennis Martin and 18-year-old Savannah Martin.

Laurie says the search warrant was executed following an investigation pertaining to the distribution of narcotics. "This actually started out as numerous complaints called in from the neighbors, in the neighborhood, about a lot traffic in and out of that residence," Laurie said. "We were able to make a purchase out of the residence, which led to the search warrant."

Laurie says the arrests, and seizure of suspected drugs and drug paraphernalia, were aided through the efforts of the Atchison Police Department's Special Response Team, which made entry into the residence, securing both suspects and clearing the residence for Sheriff's Deputies to safely search for narcotics.

Deputies located approximately a half-pound of marijuana, small quantities of cocaine, drug paraphernalia, United States currency, and a 9mm handgun, resulting in the arrest of Savannah Martin.  

Deputies also located what was believed to be methamphetamine and pipe's commonly used for smoking methamphetamine, cocaine and paraphernalia commonly used to snort cocaine, marijuana & pipes, THC Wax, and possibly THC oils used in vapes, or electronic cigarettes, resulting in the arrest of Dennis Martin.

After they were taken into custody, the father and daughter were booked into the Atchison County Jail.
