Investigators with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office have executed a second search warrant as part of an ongoing investigation into the January burglary of multiple storage units in Riverton.

Detectives served the warrant at 2107 East North 10th in rural Baxter Springs late Friday night.

While conducting the search, in addition to locating and recovering stolen property, authorities seized suspected cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Although not at the scene during the time of the search warrant, 65 year-old Charles E. Miller III was later located and taken into custody.
