Two arrested on possession of heroin charges in Burlington

Two people are behind bars following a months-long drug investigation in Burlington.

Investigators say the Southeast Iowa Narcotics Task Force and the Iowa Department of Narcotics Enforcement were following up on information about the distribution of large quantities of narcotics in the Burlington area when the pair were arrested.

On Wednesday, the two agencies, along with the Burlington Police Department’s K9 unit, pulled a vehicle over after agents identified the transportation of narcotics.

Following the stop, 56 year old Michael Robinson, of West Burlington and 44 year old Angela Lloyd, of Burlington, were arrested. Robinson is being charged with possession with intent to deliver heroin, delivery of heroin and drug tax stamp violation. Lloyd is being charged with possession with intent to deliver heroin and drug tax stamp violation.

Police say they are both being held at the Des Moines County Correctional Center on bond pending a court appearance. The investigation is ongoing and police expect additional arrests.
