Canfield was arrested on charge of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, a Class C felony, and prohibited acts, an aggravated misdemeanor. Scarcello was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, a serious misdemeanor. Both suspects will be transported to the Story County Jail. The arrests were the result of an ongoing investigation conducted by the members of the Drug Task Force, made up of the Ames Police Department, the Iowa State Department of Public Safety and the Nevada Police Department.
