ADRIAN and BLISSFIELD — A 43-year-old man was arrested Nov. 7, as part of several arrests and investigations being handled by the Region of Irish Hills Narcotics Office.
The arrest of Eric Lee Cooper came during the execution of a search warrant by RIHNO in the 1100 block of South Main Street in Adrian’s Friendly Village Mobile Home Park . Cooper’s arrest was in support of an overdose death being investigated by the Blissfield Police Department , RIHNO communicated in an “activity report” released Tuesday.
During the search, RIHNO located and seized eight firearms and more than 800 grams of heroin along with several other suspected narcotics, officials said.
