A search warrant Thursday led to the arrest of three Austin residents after officers found a man and woman smoking heroin in a bedroom.

According to Austin Police Chief Brian Krueger, officers executed a search warrant as part of an ongoing investigation at 11:45 a.m. Thursday in the 200 block of First Street Southeast. Officers gained entry into the home and found Brianna Capretz, 22, and Miguel Hernandez-Miller, 23, smoking heroin in the bedroom.

The two were arrested and are awaiting formal charges, which Krueger said would likely be for felony fifth-degree drug possession.

Officers also arrested Tyrone Bennett, 37, after they found him leaving the house. He could also face charges of felony fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance.

Police searched the residence and took several items, including two bindles of what is suspected to be heroin.

All three were being held at the Mower County jail pending formal charges.
