On Tuesday, Oct. 6, the Tumwater Police Department and Thurston County Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant in the Tumwater area on a residence where drug activity was suspected.
The warrant yielded methamphetamine, fentanyl and scales, according to information posted by Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders.
One resident was arrested for unlawful possession of narcotics with intent to deliver, while a second resident was arrested on an outstanding felony warrant out of Thurston County.
