Charges filed against two people following a search of their Farrell home that turned up drugs and guns have been held for court.

Peagler also was charged with two weapons violations.

Police accompanied Trumbull County Probation Department agents, who were looking for Peagler, at 10:46 a.m. April 5, police said.
