Original Story:

A party at a Middltown storage center resulted in two arrests for drug related charges with more likely to come.

According to police documentation, Daniel Barrett, 25, of Middletown, and Robert Haney, 24, of Fairless Hills, were present at a party at a Public Storage facility on South Flowers Mill Road in Middletown on Saturday night. And they weren’t alone, police said about 50 other people were at the party.

While Barrett and Haney were charged as of Monday, police on Sunday said more people will be charged as the investigation progresses.

Middletown officers were summoned the Public Storage facility around 9:15 p.m. for reports of a large party with marijuana being smoked.

When police arrived, people who had been standing outside began running, with one person even jumping out a first-floor window. As police moved to check the premises, they noticed a number of marijuana products including marijuana food products, oil, a cylinder of nitrous oxide and jars of marijuana, according to the probable cause affidavit.

The second unit that party-goers were in was an apartment belonging to Barrett, the manager of the facility, authorities said.

In an interview at the police station, Barrett waved his Miranda rights and noted that he hosted the party even knowing that marijuana would be present, detectives wrote in paperwork. Although he intended to host the party, Barrett reportedly said he didn’t plan for the large number of attendees.

While being checked for weapons, Haney told officers that he had 10 grams of marijuana and 11 grams of “dabs and edibles.” According to an interview with police, Haney indicated that he wanted to sell some of his items at the party.

Haney and Barrett are both being charged with felonies and misdemeanors relating to drugs and disorderly conduct.

Haney is being held at the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $100,000 and Barrett is being held there on 10 percent of $500,000.

Following the party, officers stood guard at the facility until a search warrant could be served Sunday afternoon.

Chief Joseph Bartorilla said the majority of party-goers were respectful to the who officers responded Saturday night.
