Two Arrested in Friday Drug Bust
Two people were taken into custody during a drug search at a local home Friday morning.

Galesburg Police say 22-year old Blake Johnson of Abingdon, and 26-year old Joshua Foster of Galesburg, each face felony drug charges following the suspected raid by local agents and those representing the Multi-County Narcotics Enforcement Group.

Eyewitnesses say they saw agents using unmarked white vans and dressed in tactical gear enter the home around 9:30 Friday morning. Charges filed indicate that heroin and marijuana were allegedly found in the home, but not much else has been released about the operation.

Foster faces multiple counts of Possession of Heroin, and Delivery of Heroin, while Johnson faces counts of Possession of Cannabis, Possession of Cannabis with Intent to Deliver, Possession of Heroin, and Possession of Heroin with Intent to Deliver, along with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

It's not clear when the two will be in court.

Neighbors cited increased activity at the home in recent weeks -- a home some told us children played at.
