Two people are behind bars following a drug bust in Mecosta County.

 

The Sheriff's Office says after receiving a tip, they conducted background investigation and then conducted surveillance on the target location. Deputies identified the suspect 36-year old Leslie Keech, of Stanwood, who was reportedly selling the prescription narcotics.

 

Deputies set up surveillance and were able to observe her park at a local business. Within a couple minutes, another suspect 40-year old Steven Brink of Grand Haven, pulled up next to Keech and deputies were able to witness a hand-to-hand transaction.

 

The suspects both left the scene traveling in separate directions. Deputies were able to stop both vehicles.

 

Deputies were able to recover evidence at both locations and were able to arrest both the seller and buyer. Both were lodged at the Mecosta County Jail on felony charges.
