MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) -- A Moss Landing fisherman has been arrested, along with two other people, on drug and gun-related charges

The Monterey County Sheriff's Office said the arrests came after a lengthy investigation into the fisherman which led them to a hotel in Seaside.

A 39-year-old woman and 48-year-old man were also with Wetle and subsequently arrested on drug charges.
