A tip from a citizen resulted in the arrest of four people by the Hays Police Department on Friday.

Lt. Brandon Wright said the HPD responded to the parking lot of Dillons in the 1900 block of Vine after receiving a report of a possible drug deal.

Upon arrival, officers arrested Cynthia Elizabeth Hickman, 33, Colorado Springs, Colo., on suspicion of drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. Another woman at the scene — Cristal A. Stone, 28, Hays — was arrested on a warrant out of Rooks County, Wright said.

Wright said Hickman was allegedly in possession of heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

“That arrest led us to the search warrant … at Midway Apartments,” Wright said.

Arrested at the apartment complex in the 2000 block of Vine was Kelly E. Traxel, 52, Hays, who was arrested on suspicion of drug distribution, drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, Wright said.

Also arrested on a Pawnee County warrant was Amanda R. Paff, 25, Hays.
