An ongoing investigation into the distribution of marijuana in Sequoyah County led to the arrest of two Vian residents Wednesday afternoon.

Area law enforcement officers teamed up to serve a search warrant at a home located in a rural area of the county.

During a search of the home, officers at the scene reported finding substances appearing to be marijuana, along with various items of paraphernalia associated with the distribution and use of controlled dangerous substances. There were also several firearms, some of which were loaded, found in the home.

Larry Scott Speer and Carmen Elaine Young, both of Vian, were arrested.

Speer, 47, and Young, 48, were booked into the Sequoyah County Jail in Sallisaw on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm in commission of a felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were each released on $18,000 bonds.

Participating in the investigation were officers with the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Department, Sallisaw Police Department, and Vian Police Department.
