Police arrested two men Wednesday after a drug raid in Taylor found nearly 40 grams of crystal methamphetamine.

Andrew A. Kauffman, 28, 716 Linden St., Bethlehem, and Laron M. Richardson, 29, Apt. 27, Little League Boulevard, Taylor, each face several counts of drug-related felonies and misdemeanors after the search of Richardson’s apartment, police said. Drug detectives from the Lackawanna County district attorney’s office and Dunmore police investigated, with assistance from Taylor police and the Scranton police Street Crimes Unit.

Both men also face a count each of evidence tampering because detectives said they tried to destroy crystal meth in a sink and shower.

Police entered the apartment about 4:30 p.m. and found Richardson face down on the bathroom floor and Kauffman in a fetal position in the shower. Police found two bags of methamphetamine on the floor near Kauffman, and Richardson told officers there were more drugs throughout the apartment.

Riggs, a county drug dog, swept the apartment and found a total of 38 grams of meth, most of it from the bedroom. Detectives also seized six cellphones, $241 in cash, a digital scale found floating in the bathroom sink, a small amount of marijuana and a knife concealed in Richardson’s belt buckle. Detectives identified one of the cellphones as one used during their investigation.

The drugs seized field-tested positive for methamphetamine and will be sent to a state police crime laboratory for further analysis, police said.

Magisterial District Judge John P. Pesota arraigned both men and jailed them at Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $75,000 bail. Preliminary hearings are scheduled for Aug. 31 at 9 a.m.

Advocates for victims of human trafficking are urging Central Oregon businesses to post information about how to escape in their bathroom stalls before the total solar eclipse later this month. The eclipse, which is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of people to Central Oregon , could result in more cases of people being bought or sold for sex, said Nita Belles, executive director of the anti- trafficking organization In Our Backyard. “We know with the increase in population and the party atmosphere surrounding the eclipse, there will be an increase in human trafficking,” Belles said. Her organization produces “ Freedom Stickers ,” which contain instructions for how to contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline and say, in both English and Spanish, “People are not property. There is freedom from those who are hurting you.” More than 60,000 of these stickers can be found in public bathrooms throughout the country. Belles took the idea for the stickers from “shoe card
