A SWAT team helped serve a search warrant this morning at a Chehalis residence following an ongoing drug investigation.
As many as a dozen officers converged on the home on Southwest First Street near Market Boulevard just after 9 o’clock, according to the Chehalis Police Department.
“It went down without incident,” police detective Sgt. Brian Hickey said.
Arrested for delivery of a controlled substance was Richard E. Engel, 22, who lives at the home, Hickey said. Also arrested was Lonzo W. Lawson II, 32, he said. A woman who was present was detained but then released, he said.
Officers spent about two and a half hours searching the home and found an as-yet unspecified amount and type of drugs, according to Hickey.
Hickey said they have primarily been seeing heroin from the investigation.
