A complaint from a motel manager in Fruit Heights led to a drug arrest Monday afternoon.

The manager of the Mountain Creek Inn on U.S. 89 in Fruit Heights called the Davis County Sheriff's Office Monday, tipping off deputies that one of his tenants might be dealing drugs, according to Lt. Kevin MacLeod.Deputies Brent Peters and Arnold Butcher went to the man's room, knocked on the door and asked to talk to him, MacLeod said. He invited them in, where they saw what appeared to be drug paraphernalia on a table.

They obtained a search warrant and found five ounces of cocaine.
