Deputies from the Kern County Sheriff’s Office, working with county probation agents, arrested two Lake Isabella residents following a series of searches at a Cherry Street home linked to narcotics and illegal gambling activity.

On Wednesday, deputies conducted a probation search at the 2400 block of Cherry Street, where they recovered a stolen motorcycle, the Kern County Sherriff’s Office said in a statement.

Two days later, deputies executed a search warrant at the same residence and found an illegal gambling table, nearly 112 grams of suspected fentanyl, about 18 grams of suspected methamphetamine, and nearly $2,000 in cash believed to be connected to drug sales and gambling.

Michael Charles Brown, 39, and Elia Elizabeth Martin, 27, were booked on multiple felony charges, including narcotic sales, maintaining a residence for narcotic sales, maintaining a home for illegal gambling, conspiracy to commit a crime, and child endangerment.
