(KNZA)--A stolen vehicle, guns, and drugs led to the arrest of two Kansas City, Kansas residents following a weekend Hiawatha investigation.

Hiawatha Police Chief John Defore, in a news release, said it happened Saturday afternoon when officers noticed a man buffing paint on a suspicious vehicle parked in the parking lot of Hiawatha’s Sunflower Motel, at 406 North 1st Street.

A vehicle check was conducted, with officer’s learning it had been reported stolen.

The man, having gone back inside the motel, wasn’t immediately located despite attempts by officers. Instead, the vehicle was towed and the Brown County Sheriff’s Office called to assist with surveillance of the suspect’s room.

A second man was spotted approaching the room, and he was apprehended by police, with the investigation revealing he had rented the room.

After he granted permission to enter, authorities made what Defore called “guarded entry” into the room after it was learned that weapons were inside.

Three persons were removed from the room without incident, with two identified as being wanted on felony warrants.

Arrested were 36-year-old Rusty Ruth and 24-year-old DeeAnna Goodall.

According to Brown County Jail records, Ruth faces charges for felony possession of stolen property, possession of illegal narcotics, criminal possession of a weapon by a felon, and criminal damage to property.

Goodall faces a misdemeanor charge of criminal damage to property in connection with the stolen vehicle.

During the course of the investigation, Defore said officers located a loaded handgun, ammunition and a loaded magazine for a semi-automatic rifle along with suspected illegal narcotics and drug paraphernalia.
