Cleon Wall reporting Some tips to the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office lead to drugs, money and a few arrests.
It was a simultaneous drug bust on two homes in Cottonwood Heights. At the one house, the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office arrested 30-year-old Brandon Keirnes and found several pounds of high-quality marijuana. "A pound of this is $500," explained Lt. Chris Bertram.
Bertram says Travis and Melissa Eubanks were in on this and were arrested at their home. Deputies there found a little bit of marijuana and $180,000 in cash. The couple's young children were sent to stay with relatives.
"Sometimes these drug dealers get ripped off, and to have people come in, armed people come in, to that house with a family with children — dangerous situation," Bertam said.
Deputies also arrested Eusebio Sanchez of West Valley in a separate bust with 63 pounds of marijuana.
