(KNZA)--The search for a wanted suspect led to the arrest of two Hiawatha residents over the weekend on drug charges.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, in a release, said a deputy was searching for an individual who had a Hiawatha Police Department warrant in the vicinity of 207 Lodge Road in Hiawatha late Saturday night.
Upon investigation, the deputy located the wanted suspect, 25-year-old Elaine Moore, in a bathroom at the Fairbridge Inn.
A search warrant was then obtained for a room at 207 Lodge Road.
Following the execution of the search warrant, 34-year-old Kevin Hall was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Moore was arrested on charges of possession of meth, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstruction. She was also arrested on a misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear.
Following their arrest, the pair were booked into the Brown County Jail. Hall has since been released on a $500 OR bond, while Moore remained jailed Tuesday on a total bond of $3,500.
The Hiawatha Police Department assisted.
