Two people were arrested Wednesday morning following a search at Iola’s Regency Inn.
The Iola Police Department and Allen County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at 6 a.m. Wednesday. The initial search was for stolen property, including checks taken from mail around Allen and surrounding counties, Sheriff Bryan Murphy said.
Iola Police obtained a second warrant after illegal substances were found.
“Only by our departments working together did this happen,” Murphy said.
An Iola officer stopped the suspected vehicle and driver near the intersection of First Street and U.S. 54 and quickly contacted the investigating deputy.
The driver was arrested there; the second suspect was arrested at the hotel. A dog was taken to the Allen County Animal Rescue Facility as well.
The two suspects are being held without bond.
