(KAIR)--Two drug-related arrests are made following the execution of a search warrant at an Atchison residence.

According to Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the search warrant was served Wednesday afternoon at 814 South 4th Street, in Atchison. “Turned out to be a pretty good bust for that complaint,” Laurie told MSC News.

Arrested at the residence were 26-year-old Nicholas Zawodny-Walkup and 26-year-old Brianna Poppe, both of Atchison.

The arrests came after the Sheriff’s Office allegedly seized cocaine and paraphernalia from the home. “Detectives had been looking into possible cocaine distribution out of that house for the last few weeks, and were able to obtain a search warrant and execute it,” Laurie said.

According to Laurie, it’s alleged that the amount of cocaine seized was intended for distribution. “We don’t know exactly the exact amount, but we believe it’s over an ounce of cocaine. It’s definitely distribution levels, so it was good to get it off the street.”

Zawodny-Walkup faces charges for possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute, and no drug tax stamp.
Poppe faces charges for aid and abet possession with intent to distribute cocaine, and no drug tax stamp.

Following their arrests, Zawodny-Walkup and Poppe were both booked into the Atchison County Jail.
