ROXBURY - Four people have been arrested, and multiple warrants have been issued after a monthlong investigation by the New Hampshire State Police Narcotics Investigations Unit into sales of cocaine and crack cocaine out of a residence in Roxbury.

On Sept. 10 a search warrant was executed at 138 Branch Road where state troopers arrested Tyjuan Gary, 32, of West Orange, N.J., for felony sale of a controlled drug; Michael Steever, 45, of Claremont, for felony sale of a controlled drug; and Tianna Martin, 35, of Surry, for felony conspiracy-sale of a controlled drug.

Shawn Mooney, 37, of Roxbury, was also wanted on an NHSP arrest warrant for duty to register as a sex offender, but was not located with the other wanted subjects, according to a Dept. of Safety press release sent on Wednesday. He was located by members of the Lebanon Police Department later the same day and was taken into custody on the warrant by them.

Gary and Steever were arraigned on Sept. 11 in Keene District Court. Mooney was arraigned on the same date in Lebanon District Court. Martin was released on personal recognizance following her arrest.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Lt. Shane W. Larkin of the NIU at (603) 234-0707. Anonymous tips can be sent to nabdope@dos.nh.gov.
