Centralia Police Chief Greg Dodson says a fourth person was arrested on new outstanding federal warrants following a drug bust led by FBI SWAT teams on Thursday.

He reports 32-year-old Jenifer Branson of North College in Salem had come to the Centralia Police Department to pick up another person who was brought in for questioning.   Since they knew she also had a federal warrant for her arrest she has been detained at the Marion County Jail pending federal court action.

Those arrested during the execution of search warrants were 31-year-old Ricardo Little and 40-year-old Bobby Everett of Centralia and former Centralia resident Ricosha Young who was arrested at her Mt. Vernon home.    Details on federal warrants are not released until those charged make their first appearance in court.

As part of the bust in Centralia, search warrants were executed on two homes in the 300 block of North Elm and a third home in the 1000 block of Case Street.   Police seized methamphetamine, fentanyl, marijuana, several firearms, ammunition, and US currency during the execution of the warrant.
