(KNZA)--A joint investigation by the Brown County Sheriff's Office and Richardson County Sheriff's Office led to the arrest of three Hiawatha residents on drug charges Friday evening.

Brown County Sheriff John Merchant said deputies executed a search warrant at 1105 Iowa Street in Hiawatha. 

Merchant said the Sheriff's Department's K-9, Ari, also indicated drugs were present in a vehicle.

39-year-old Nicole Patterson was arrested on charges of Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Meth, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Transporting  an Open Container.

Randall Bostic and Renee Bostic, both 40, were arrested on charges of Possession of Meth with intent to Distribute, Possession of Meth, Possession of Drug  paraphernalia, Child Endangerment and Possession of Marijuana.

Merchant said deputies seized marijuana, about 27 grams of methamphetamine  and paraphernalia during the search.   

He said other charges are possible by both entities and the incident remains under investigation.  

The Hiawatha Police Department assisted.

Merchant said the collaboration of the two entities over the past year and a half have netted many successful drug arrests in both jurisdictions.
