Early Monday morning, June 3, a joint operation between the local Drug Task Force and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) found more than three pounds of various types of drugs in a local residence.

According to Salina Police Department (SPD) Capt. James Feldman, at about 9 a.m., the Drug Task Force and KBI served a search warrant at a home in Central Salina and found evidence of several types of drugs.

"In reference to a joint investigation, located was approximately a pound of hallucinogenic mushrooms, over two pounds of miscellaneous marijuana products, over three grams of suspected methamphetamine and a large quantity of paraphernalia," Feldman said. "Arrested was Kristoff Lindgren, a 33-year-old male of Salina."

Officers arrested Lindgren and requested charges for the distribution of a hallucinogenic, distribution of marijuana, distribution of methamphetamines, a count of use of a communication facility and the commission of a felony drug crime, unlawful drug proceeds, felony paraphernalia and a paraphernalia misdemeanor.

"Some cash was found, but I don't have those numbers right now," Feldman said. "It was a long day."

Feldman said the Drug Task Force and KBI had worked on this investigation for some time. Officers jointly continue to investigate the crime.
