A Butler couple was arrested this weekend on felony drug charges after city police responded to their home on reports of gun shots.

Officers went to the 200 block of Second Street about 7:20 p.m. Sunday after neighbors heard what sounded like a fire alarm. The caller said the people who fired the gun fled in a dark colored car and that the people in 204 Second St. were involved.

Police knocked on the door of the residence and spoke with its occupants, Keith and Norma Reges. Both initially denied hearing gun shots and said no one else had been to their house.

Police said Keith Reges, 28, was intoxicated and belligerent, asking several times to be arrested.

After he was placed in the police cruiser, Norma Reges, 42, told police five other people were recently at the home and two of them had gotten into an argument outside over a cell phone, according to court documents.

Norma Reges said a man named Richie shot a gun before everyone left in his blue car.

A witness told police that neighbors on the street thought the shot sounded like it came from the upstairs of the house, prompting officers to ask Norma Reges to search the home to make sure no one was hurt.

After Norma Reges gave permission, two officers found four pots of soil containing small marijuana plants inside a closet in the master bedroom. A tin of marijuana seeds was also found on the kitchen counter.

Both Keith and Norma Reges were charged with two felony counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, as well as other counts of possession of a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia and disorderly house.

Keith Reges also was charged with public drunkenness.

Both were placed in Butler County Prison on $25,000 bail.
