 A drug bust near Cass Lake Elementary School has landed three people behind bars. Law enforcement received numerous complaints regarding the home on 4th Street in the city of Cass Lake. Public concerns were generally specific to the amount of traffic at the home and suspected drug sale or originating from it. On Wednesday, Leech Lake Tribal Police and the Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force ended a month-long investigation into the sales and distribution of heroin. Forty-eight-year-old Robert McRunnels of Detroit, Michigan, thirty-four-year-old Carla Thompson and sixty-three-year-old Anna Deane Hewell, both of Cass Lake, were all arrested in connection to the case. Two search warrants were executed as a result of the investigation, which led to a large sum of cash being located as well as eight juvenile children located inside the house. For the children were placed on health and safety holds, the other four children were turned over to the care of other family members.
