MORELAND – Lincoln County sheriff’s deputies seized about 40 grams of crystal methamphetamine during a narcotics investigation last week.

According to Deputy Rob Oney, the sheriff’s office had been watching a residence in the Moreland area for a while after receiving multiple tips about “a lot of traffic in and out.”

Oney said he and other deputies approached the residence last week and found a male subject outside when they arrived.
