Five people will spend their Independence Day behind bars following a drug bust in New Madrid County.

Early Saturday morning New Madrid County deputies and drug agents conducted a search warrant at a home in Morehouse.

Five Morehouse residents were arrested on drug charges.

Twenty-three-year-old Tara Kempfer, 22-year-old Mandy Hicks, 36-year-old Adam Gadberry, 25-year-old Aaron Laminack and 22-year-old Jesse Laminack are charged with attempt to manufacture, intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled substance.
