Two Arrested on Drug ChargesAugust 22, 2003 Two Lamar men were arrested Saturday for their role in supplying and selling drugs to Kiowa County residents. The arrests follow a lengthy investigation of regional drug trafficking; the investigation will continue. Members of the Prowers County Drug Task Force, along with Captain Chad Ray of the Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office, obtained warrants for the arrest of Nathan Wayne Brown, 20, and Jacob Ray Cooper, 20, both of Lamar, based on information on the flow of drugs between Lamar and Eads.

Cooper was arrested around 6:30 a.m. at a home in Lamar, and has been charged with distribution of marijuana, a class four felony, and possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, a class two petty offence. Brown was arrested about an hour later at another Lamar residence and faces the same charges. Both men are being held at Prowers County Jail in lieu of $24,000 bonds. Captain Ray stated Monday evening that he anticipated further investigations within the Eads town limits and all of Kiowa County, though the public may not see "overnight results."
