Livingston County Sheriff's Police seized more than 500 baggies containing heroin in a home, leading to the arrest of a Flanagan couple on drug charges.

37-year-old James Bankenbeckler and his wife, 32-year-old Beth Bankenbeckler are charged with possession of a controlled substance. The charges are Class 4 felony counts.

Livingston County Sheriff Tony Childress said the county's Proactive Gang/Drug Unit located the heroin and 4.5 grams of marijuana during search of the couple's home.

The arrests followed a yearlong investigation into what police believe was a drug operation in the small town, west of Pontiac.
