$10K worth of cocaine seized from Powell home

POWELL, Wyo. — Authorities say they have arrested two people in Powell after an investigation led to the seizure of more than 100 grams of cocaine — worth more than $10,000 on the street.

Powell Police Chief Roy Eckerdt says a search of a home in the northeastern part of town Wednesday turned up 108 grams of the drug, $6,500 in cash and packaging materials and drug paraphernalia. Some of the cocaine appeared to be packaged for sale in half-gram to 1-gram weights.

The Powell Tribune reports police arrested 49-year-old Rosa M. Gonzalez and 58-year-old Ernesto Gonzalez on suspicion of drug-related felony charges. They are scheduled to appear in court Friday.

Meanwhile, 32-year-old Daniel Gonzalez was cited for possessing a misdemeanor amount of cocaine.
