Officers responded to a Battle Ground medical clinic on Friday after they received a voicemail from a man attempting to set up a prescription drug sale.

He left enough information on the message that detectives were able to call back and arrange to buy prescription pain medication.

When police arrived, they arrested three suspects and found a large amount of prescription drugs, said Battle Ground Police Sgt. Jason Perdue.

The suspects were identified as 38-year-old Katy Burruss, 40-year-old Donald Burruss and 40-year-old Greg Johnson.

The trio was arrested on various drug-related charges.
