Those groups executed a search warrant at the residence on Main Street around 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday.

Officers arrested six people inside before seizing an undisclosed amount of what's believed to be cocaine as well as an assortment of pills, Canadian cash, and other drug paraphernalia.

Four of the six arrested were released unconditionally, one other remained in custody on outstanding warrants, while a sixth man is facing criminal charges.

The 54-year-old from Midland is being charged with possession of a schedule I substance and possession of property obtained by crime.

He was released but is set to appear in court in early August.
