Anne Arundel County police said that two people had been arrested on Friday for dealing drugs out of a home that was also used as a day care center in Pasadena, .
Bruce Dabrasky, 37 years old , and Elizabeth Ocus, 34 years old, of the 7800 block of Centergate Court are facing multiple counts of drug possession and possession with intent to distribute illegal and prescription narcotics, police said.
Police said that detectives executed a search warrant at about 5:30 AM. As a result, officers recovered heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, Oxycodone, Tramadol, Carisoprodol, money and drug paraphernalia at the residence, which was a child care facility.
Anne Arundel County spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure said, "We did that purposefully and intentionally so we knew that there was no kids inside the residence, and no risk factors for that," .
Police said that a representative from the Maryland State Department of Education's Department of Childhood Development had been notified before the search warrant was executed, and they hd been present during the event.
MSDE officials said that the facility lost its license in February because of multiple license violations.
All precautions had been made to ensure that no children from the day care were present at the time detectives arrived to execute the warrant.
Frashure said, "All of the drugs that were found inside the house were found in an upstairs bedroom and a bathroom, which they tell me was inaccessible to the daycare kids," .
The Anne Arundel County Department of Social Services was also notified and opened an investigation into the home.
Police said a tip from neighbors about suspicious activity going on here led to their investigation.
neighbor Scott Sharik said, "It's a little shaky and scary that it happened right, literally, in my neighborhood," .
neighbor Stephanie Kijack said, "My husband and I always knew that just the way they talked to their children, or they were always yelling at their children that that was kind of odd," .
