The sheriff’s office had been watching the business since September, Frye said.

On Monday, the sheriff’s office got a search warrant approved and raided the business.

Frye says a woman and a man were found inside of the business, and the woman appeared to be living there.

Both the woman and the man were released without charges.

The business has since been shut down by the sheriff’s office.
