ST. JOSEPH - Berrien Sheriff's deputies arrested five people Thursday in two apparently unrelated drug cases in Benton Harbor and Benton Township, the department announced Thursday in a press release.
Deputies searched 1998 Hatch St. in Benton Township on a warrant from a weeklong investigation and seized about $1,000 worth of suspected marijuana and other evidence of drug deals, the release said.

Deputies arrested the resident, Shawn Ezell, 32, for investigation on charges of maintaining a drug house and marijuana possession with intent to deliver.
Elvis Saffell, 45, and Pamela Ezell, 54, also residents of the home, were each arrested for investigation on second-offense charges of maintaining a drug house.

Also Thursday, deputies searched 802 Vineyard Ave. in Benton Harbor on a warrant from a three-week investigation.
Officers seized about $250 worth of suspected marijuana, two loaded handguns and evidence of drug deals. One handgun was reported stolen from the Kalamazoo area in 2004, deputies said. ["SUSPECTED" MARIJUANA? WHAT'S THE EVIDENCE OF DRUG DEALS? DID YOU BUY SOME?]
Carlos Mosby, 36, was arrested and booked at the jail for investigation on second-offense charges of marijuana possession with intent to deliver and maintaining a drug house, and new charges of possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He is prohibited from having guns because of two previous felony convictions in the state, deputies said.
Mosby is awaiting arraignment. Two other adults at the house were released without charges, and two children there were turned over to a family member. [BERRIEN COUNTY: HAVE YOU NO SHAME? RUNNING AROUND DAY AND NIGHT, KEEPING A COMMUNITY IN A LIVING HELL]
