TWO ARRESTED WITH DRUGS IN MORONGO VALLEY

Two men were arrested in Morongo Valley Wednesday, after deputies found drugs in their possession. According to Sheriff’s Sergeant Rick Millard, deputies were on a follow-up investigation and went to a home in the 49300 block of Senilis Avenue about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday evening. A car pulled in behind the patrol car, and a deputy saw the passenger, Parry Bunts, 26, hide something in the front seat. Bunts was taken out of the car, handcuffed, and seated on a curb. Bunts tried to run—still handcuffed—but was quickly caught; he was slightly injured during his apprehension. During a search of the car, deputies found suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Parry Bunts was arrested for investigation of possession of a dangerous drug. The driver of the vehicle, Erik Edwards, 35, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of a dangerous drug. They were both booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with their bail set at $25,000 each.
