BURLEY — A traffic stop by a Cassia deputy on Tuesday led to a drug raid Thursday on a Burley residence. During the traffic stop and drug raid four people were arrested and $1,300 worth of methamphetamine and 10 grams of marijuana were seized.
According to a press release issued by Cassia County Sheriff Randy Kidd a deputy stopped a 2004 Nissan Sentra in the 500 block of Conant Avenue Tuesday, and when a K-9 officer was brought in to search the vehicle the dog indicated the presence of drugs. Officers then searched the car and found 13 grams of meth.
The driver of the car, Stephanie K. Clayton, 45, of Rupert was arrested on a charge of possession of a controlled substance and her passenger Jesse T. Salinas, 32, of Burley was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver. The car was seized by the Mini-Cassia Drug Task Force, the release said.
According to the release, as a result of those arrests task force officers were able to receive a warrant for a suspected drug house at 1410 Elba Ave. in Burley. During a search early Thursday morning task force officers arrested Keith S. Nance, 55, of Burley and Steven D. Carter, 40, of Burley for possession of a controlled substance, which was methamphetamine.
During the bust 10 grams of marijuana were found along with methamphetamine residue and a drug pipe, the release said.
