Police served a search warrant Friday at Simpson’s house in the 200 block of N. Walnut Street in Edinburgh where they found 20 grams of meth, 1⁄2 gram of cocaine, prescription drugs and marijuana, according to an Edinburgh Police Department news release.
Police served a separate search warrant Saturday at Hardin’s house in the 400 block of N. Kyle Street in Edinburgh where they found 7 grams of meth, prescription drugs and 3 bags of marijuana, according to the news release.
