Three people face charges after local law enforcement agencies served a search warrant at a St. Joseph home last week.

Spencer Hoffman is charged with unlawful use of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance, Amy Huffman is charged with second-degree trafficking drugs and unlawful use of a weapon and Jedediah Husted is charged with possession of a controlled substance.

The three are among six people taken into custody on June 27 after a search warrant was served by the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office and St. Joseph Police Department Special Response Team at a home at 2305 Castle Lane.

Officials said that during a search of the residence, more than one pound of methamphetamine was seized along with two handguns, $1,440 and a stolen motorcycle.

Huffman and Husted are set to appear in court at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 2. No hearing has been set yet for Hoffman.
