A drug bust in Iberia results in two people being taken into custody.
73-year-old Carl Howser, of Iberia, and 54-year-old Thomas Hock, of Eldon, are each charged with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
It’s alleged that officers conducting a narcotics investigation discovered a smoking pipe and part of a metal spoon inside a sewing kit at the residence. Both of the items field-tested for the presence of methamphetamine.
Howser and Hock were arrested and taken to the Miller County Jail.
As of late Thursday morning, both were being held on $25,000 bonds.
