Police bust drug house

Casper Police arrested four people on suspicion of drug possession and child endangerment after finding suspected drugs and paraphernalia at a Casper house on Monday.

Police reported to a house in the 100 block of East J Street after a concerned citizen was worried about the welfare of children living in an apartment. When police went inside, they smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. The three children who live at the home were at school at the time.

Police found several containers of marijuana and baggies of suspected methamphetamine, as well as syringes, scales, spoons and baggies. They also found several metal pipes inside a "SpongeBob" tin box and marijuana residue inside a "Molly" tin box.

Marie C. Veeder, 51, and Misty M. Croley, 28, were arrested and charged with endangering a child with methamphetamine in the residence. Kenneth Lee Dalton, 29, was arrested and charged with endangering a child with meth in the residence, as well as a third offense for possession of meth and marijuana. A warrant was out for Jason Edward Veeder, 36, who was not home at the time.

Police took the children into protective custody to be placed with the Department of Family Services and Metro Animal Control and Welfare was called to take a small dog and an illegal ball python snake.
