A Lethbridge man and woman are facing drug-related charges after Lethbridge police searched a downtown apartment last week.
In a news release Tuesday, police said they believed an apartment building along the 500 block of 7 Street South was being used for drug transactions involving homeless people.
Police searched the apartment on Wednesday and reported finding approximately 30 grams of methamphetamine, $4,600 in cash, some drug paraphernalia, two cellphones, an axe and four knives. The estimated street value of the drugs is around $5,000.

Jerome Ross, 35, is charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a controlled substance, possession of stolen property and possession of the proceeds of crime.
Both Heidel and Ross appeared in court last Friday.
