Three people from Dexter were arrested Wednesday and charged with trafficking fentanyl.

Police identified the suspects as 59-year-old Norman Bashaw, his son, 27-year-old Norman Bashaw III, and his son’s girlfriend, 30-year-old Kayla Tasker. Drug agents said they were selling the drugs from their home on Garland Road, where agents found the son hiding under a trap door.

The couple’s 18-month-old child was in the home and has been taken by DHHS. All three were expected to appear in court on Friday.
