Tips Help Police Make Two Drug Arrests

02-05-2010  Article by:

A Marion man has been arrested after a tip led MARMET detectives to a hotel room on State Route 95.

Kenneth F. Maze, 46, was arrested in a hotel room at the America’s Best Value Inn hotel.

Detectives found crystal meth and marijuana as well as $600 in cash on Maze, who was charged with possession of meth, a 3rd degree felony, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, and criminal non-support.

Another tip led detectives to Jesse Salaz, 28, who was on a bench outside McDonalds on North Main Street. Salaz was on parole.

A responding Adult Parole Authority searched Salaz and found heroin and crack cocaine.

Because children were inside the restaurant, Salaz was charged with a 2nd degree felony for possession of heroin and a 3rd degree felony for possession of crack.

Both men were arrested and transported to the Multi-County Corrections Facility.

“Cases such as this showcase the importance we place on the information that is provided to us by our residents,” state Lt. BJ Gruber of the MARMET/METRICH Enforcement Unit.

Anybody with information pertaining to a crime is asked to call the Tipsline at 375-TIPS.
