(KNZA)--The execution of a search warrant leads to the arrest of a Hiawatha woman on drug charges.
According to a press release from Hiawatha Police Chief John Defore, 34-year-old Anna Swogar was arrested early Wednesday evening after officers with the Hiawatha Police Department executed a search warrant at 903 Shawnee Street.
Swogar was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia and possession with intent to distribute.
Defore says officers located suspected methamphetamine, scales, packaging and other paraphernalia commonly associated with the sale of illegal narcotics.
He says the search warrant was obtained after a lengthy investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department with the assistance of the Brown County Attorney’s Office.
Defore says a 17-year-old juvenile was also questioned and investigated for alleged drug related offenses.
The case has been forwarded to Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill for his review and prosecution.
