POLSON – On the afternoon of Friday, Aug. 31, the Polson Police Department with the help of the Flathead Tribal Police Department conducted a warrant service at 608 2nd Street West. This search warrant concludes a short-term drug investigation that originated from citizen complaints.
Several items were seized as a result: methamphetamine, prescription pills, marijuana, several items of drug paraphernalia such as snort tubes, pipes, and syringes. No children were in the residence and nobody was injured during the execution of the search warrant.
Seven individuals were arrested as a result of the raid. Tiana Buehl was arrested for distribution of dangerous drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
