(STURGIS) – A drug bust Wednesday in Sturgis led to the arrest of two men.

The Southwest Enforcement Team says they executed a search warrant at a home on East West Street near Ilene Street. Officers found two adults inside the residence. There were also five men inside a small shed which had been turned into a living space, plus another man was behind the shed and was not responsive.

Police were able to revive the man. They discovered that he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

In a search of the house, officers found heroin, meth,
prescription drugs, hypodermic needles, meth pipes along with other drug paraphernalia. They also found a hand gun and a long gun.

Two of the men were arrested for having outstanding warrants and taken to the St. Joseph County Jail. Officers have asked the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office for additional warrants for the other individuals at the residence.

Assisting were officers from the Southwest Enforcement Teams East and South, the St. Joseph County Special Response Team, the Sturgis Police Department and the Michigan State Police.
