Four people were arrested on drug-related charges after deputies were called to check on the welfare of a person at a hotel.

Bartholomew County deputies were called to the hotel in the 10300 block of North U.S. 31 at about 11:05 p.m. Sunday night and talked to a man in the room. But they also saw a woman carrying a bag full of narcotics.

After obtaining a search warrant, deputies discovered six grams of heroin, about three grams of methamphetamine and syringes.

The renters of the room, 59-year-old Darrel Hayworth and 59-year-old Beth Hayworth, both of Morgantown, were arrested on preliminary charges of possessing heroin, methamphetamine, a controlled substance and syringes, as well as maintaining a common nuisance.
