Another drug bust in Oxford... just blocks from Miami University's campus. Today, Oxford police executed a search warrant at the "Mtn Dew" home on E. Walnut Street. Two people inside the house were detained. One was released and one was transported to the Oxford Police Department for questioning. Neither have been charged.

Police say co***ne, electronics, and other paraphernalia were seized.

They say today’s activity was part of a month-long investigation that is still ongoing and it IS connected to the search warrant they executed last week at the "Dirty South" home on S. College Ave. In that situation, Miami U senior Will Esler was arrested and charged with drug trafficking and possession. Police say they seized 30 grams of co***ne from the home... since it's more than 27 grams, that makes it a felony 1.
