Heroin, cash seized at Kenai home; man, woman arrested

KENAI — A Kenai man is in custody after Alaska State Troopers and Kenai police seized nearly a half-pound of heroin from his home.

Trooper said 42-year-old Corey Clifton was wanted on felony warrants for probation and parole violations. He faces new charges of drug misconduct.

Another resident of the home, 20-year-old Yesenia Cisneros, was arrested on suspicion of drug misconduct.

Online court records did not list attorneys for Clifton and Cisneros.

Troopers and police served a search warrant on Clifton’s home Monday afternoon.

Troopers said they seized other drugs, drug paraphernalia and more than $23,000 in cash.

Clifton and Cisneros are being held without bail at Wildwood Correctional Facility.
