Vice-squad officers serving search warrants Tuesday investigating drug activity at two homes found more than $2,000 in cash, arrested two people and cited a third.

About 6:30 p.m. at a 2230 Ohio Ave. home, police found two bags of suspected marijuana, a scale, 17 suboxone strips, a bag of unidentified powder and $858 in cash, reports said.

Arrested there on possession of drugs charges was Cameron Dyer, 29. His bond was set at $32,500 Wednesday at his arraignment in municipal court before Judge Elizabeth Kobly.

Assistant Prosecutor Kathy Thompson said Dyer has several past arrests and convictions for drug offenses. In March, he was arrested after a traffic stop when police found five suboxone strips in his car.

Earlier, officers served a warrant about 5:20 p.m. at a 571 W. Delason Ave. home. A person driving away from the home, Jackie Levonyak, 38, was stopped at Oakhill and Kenmore avenues. Reports said officers found a crack pipe in the car. Levonyak was given a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia and released with a court date.

Inside the home, police found two suboxone strips, five bags of suspected heroin, a scale, a bag of suspected crack cocaine and $1,608 cash.

Arrested on charges of possession of heroin, possession of drugs and possession of cocaine was Stephen Marshall, 51, of Glacier Avenue. His bond was set at $40,000.
