HARRISBURG, Ark. (AP) - Deputies have arrested the owner and employees of a northeast Arkansas crawfish store after they found methamphetamine and other illegal items during a raid.

An incident report from the Poinsett County Sheriff’s Office states that meth, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a stolen John Deere riding lawnmower were found at H&T Crawfish on Friday.

The department says it was tipped off by a resident who told authorities young children had been purchasing and using drugs at the store known for its crawfish, alligator, shrimp and frog legs.

The owner was arrested at a later date and faces charges including theft and drug possession. Two employees were arrested Friday and face theft charges along with possessing drug paraphernalia.

A person who answered the business’ phone Tuesday declined to comment to the Associated Press.
