The Seymour Tribune reports, on Monday officers arrested 22-year-old Robert Chaise Mousa, of Seymour, on three counts of dealing meth and 42-year-old Asher Burns, of Seymour on a charge of dealing and possession of meth.

Police say both men sold meth to an undercover agent during drug buys on Seymour's north side about two weeks ago.

Mousa was arrested about 2:30 p.m. Monday at his apartment in the 900 block of East Fourth Street.

Burns was arrested Monday night evening at the Department of Child Services building. Burns was at the facility taking a drug test for an open case involving his children. When police searched Burns they found two bags of meth in his pockets.

Four others were also arrested.

On Feb. 10, police arrested 28-year-old Jerry Mobley at a home in the 600 block of Indianapolis Avenue.

A 16-year-old boy, Mobley's girlfriend 22-year-old Samantha Young, of Bedford and the homeowner 49-year-old Harold Eisenmenger and 31-year-old Joel Shands both of Seymour were also arrested.

The city's SWAT team was involved in those arrests.

Armed with a search warrant officers found $5,000 in cash, meth with the street value of $1,000 and a 22-caliber handgun.

Police say from those arrests, they were led to Mobley and Mousa.

Police say they expect 5 to 10 more arrest in connection to the investigation.
