Three people were arrested at their Onalaska home this morning following a two-month long drug investigation.

The SWAT team joined other law enforcement officers at 9:44 a.m. when a search warrant was served at the 500 block of Gish Road, according to Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies found methamphetamine and detectives are still on the scene collecting evidence, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said.

Scott E. Ridgley, 51, was arrested for four counts of delivery of methamphetamine based on previous so-called controlled buys, according to Brown.

His son, Larry E. Ridgley, 34, was arrested for possession of meth with intent to deliver. Misty A. Raines, 39, was arrested for possession of meth.

The father and son were also arrested for possession, Brown said. She didn’t yet know the quantity of drugs found.

The Lewis County Regional Drug Task Force made the arrests with assistance from the state Department of Corrections.
