ENID, Okla. --
The Enid Police Department said four arrests were made as drugs, drug paraphernalia and improvised explosive devices were found in a house after a patrol officer obtained information during a traffic stop and tipped off narcotics detectives Saturday morning.

Narcotics detectives said an arrest warrant was obtained for the house of Matthew Davis, 42, due to Barber's tip and the fact that Davis have past arrests for obstructing an officer, possession and distribution of a controlled and dangerous substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
