MOSES LAKE — A Moses Lake resident was arrested Friday morning after police located drugs, stolen guns and stolen vehicles while executing a search warrant in the 12000 block of Heritage Lane Southeast, according to police records.

Vernon Keith Little, 41, was booked on charges of possession of a stolen firearm, possession, delivery, or manufacture of narcotics, as well as an outstanding warrant related to first-degree driving while license suspended.

Police served the search warrant at Little’s residence around 10:30 a.m Friday, locating two grams of heroin, under a gram of meth and an unspecified quantity of hallucinogenic mushrooms, according to police records. In addition, a number of stolen items were also reportedly located, including a 5.56 caliber rifle, a .380 caliber handgun, a Yamaha motorcycle, and three all-terrain vehicles.

Little was previously convicted in 2004 for first-degree attempted kidnapping, according to court documents.
