A man and a woman were arrested early Friday after narcotics officers found crack, heroin and other drugs at a home that operated as a licensed daycare center in Pasadena, Maryland.
Anne Arundel County Police searched the home in the 7800 block of Centergate Court at about 5:30 a.m. Friday. They said they took precautions to ensure that the search was done before any children arrived for the day.
Police say they found heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, Oxycodone, Tramadol, Carisoprodol and drug paraphernalia "indicative of distribution."
Detectives seized the following, police said:
- 7 capsules containing trace amounts of heroin
- 2 baggies of crack cocaine weighing about 6.83 grams total (approximate street value $700)
- 20 pills of 15mg Oxycodone (approximate street value $300)
- 2.53 grams of marijuana (approximate street value $40)
- 3 pills of 50mg Tramadol (approximate street value of $30)
- 1 pill of 350mg Carisoprodol (approximate street value $10)
- controlled dangerous substance distribution paraphernalia (digital scales, packaging materials)
- $710 in cash
Two people who live in the home were arrested.
Bruce Edward Dabrasky Jr., 37, and Elizabeth Ann Ocus, 34, are facing multiple drug possession and intent to distribute charges. They are also each facing three counts of reckless endangerment, and Dabrasky was also charged with one count of evidence tampering.
