Agents observed what was later determined to be methamphetamine and methamphetamine paraphernalia throughout the home, while also observing a pay/owe sheet of paper in one room of the house, appearing to be a record of transactions concerning the narcotics.

Authorities also found more than $1,000 in cash on Mr. Wakefield.

With a broader search of the property, agents recovered 12 firearms and a functioning cannon, along with multiple "cannon accessories."

The couple remains in custody at the Meeker County Jail.
