While patrolling the area near the McDonald’s at 1540 2nd Street, officers saw two subjects standing near the entry/exit way smoking a cigarette in violation of a municipal code. Officers made contact with both subjects for the violation and attempted to identify them. The subjects refused to provide any identifiable information and attempted to walk away. A struggle ensued with one of the subjects. Additional officers arrived and assisted in gaining control of both subjects. A search of the subjects led to the recovery of a container containing psilocybin mushrooms and prescription pills. Both subjects were taken into custody and transported to SMPD Jail.
