Two people were arrested Tuesday in Barnet following a drug trafficking investigation by Lyndonville police. Officers searched a home on Wild Leek Road as part of a probe into drug dealing connected to short-term rental properties in the area.

Osvaldo Andino Rodriguez, 43, of Meriden, Connecticut, and Ashley Williams, 31, of St. Johnsbury, face drug charges. Police reported seizing over 100 grams of suspected cocaine and approximately $50,000 in cash at the residence. Both were held on bail.

NEK will be looking into the role of short-term rental properties in drug trafficking operations in the region.
