A home visit for a probation check led to two arrests on drug charges earlier this week.

The Bartholomew County sheriff’s department reports that a deputy was helping probation officers with the visit when they saw a man run from the home in the 100 block of Cherry Street.

The probationer, Roger K Burton, opened the door and allowed police to enter at about 2:08 p.m. in the afternoon Tuesday, where they discovered two pounds of bagged marijuana, cash, baggies and other drug paraphernalia, according to reports from deputies.

Roger K. Burton was arrested on preliminary charges of dealing marijuana, possessing marijuana and paraphernalia and maintaining a common nuisance. That is on top of the probation violations.
