(KNZA)--Charges have been filed against four Elwood residents following a drug raid last week in Elwood.

According to court documents, criminal complaints were filed Tuesday in Doniphan District charging 40-year-old Dustin Owens, 46-year-old Heather Bledsoe-Thornton, 58-year-old Pierce Brown and 34-year-old Heidi Shalz with a felony count of possession of methamphetamine with the intent to sell.

In addition, the four were charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Owens and Bledsoe-Yhornton were also charged with a misdemeanor count of possession of a hallucinogenic drug—mushrooms.

The four were arrested April 19th after authorities executed a search warrant at 1310 Massachusetts Street, in Elwood.

That followed a lengthy investigation by the Elwood Police Department, Kansas Bureau of Investigation and Doniphan County Sheriff's Department.

All four are currently free on $25,000 bond each and scheduled to make their first appearance in court May 2.

The case remains under investigation.
