HOUGHTON, MI--   Two people have been arrested in Houghton County on drug charges. 

On Wednesday detectives with the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team took a 53-year-old Hancock man and a 28-year-old Houghton man into custody. The arrests stemmed from search warrants conducted on four residences in April. The search resulted in the seizure of more than 100 pounds of processed marijuana and 45 marijuana plants.

They’re charged with delivery/manufacture of 45 kilograms or more of marijuana, delivery of marijuana, and maintaining a drug house.

The 53-year-old posted bond and was released. The 28-year-old is lodged at the Houghton County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond.
