Gary Reid "Duck" Turner, 50, 145 Alma St., Lot No. 22, Muscle Shoals, and Linda Diane Fuqua, 41, same address, were arrested Thursday, according to the Colbert County Sheriff's Office.
The address is in a manufactured home complex north of Second Street.
Reports indicate Turner and Fuqua are both charged with unlawful distribution of a controlled substance.
Authorities said the arrests took place when members of the Colbert County Drug Task Force, the sheriff's office and Muscle Shoals police went to the residence to serve civil complaint papers seizing the property because of reported criminal activity that had been going on there.
While serving the papers, authorities said agents and investigators found a quantity of crack cocaine, Klonopin, Xanax and assorted drug paraphernalia inside the residence.
Task force members said the sheriff's office and the Colbert County District Attorney's Office received numerous complaints of drug activity at the residence.
Task force officials said during the course of the investigation four different drug-related cases have been made in the manufactured home complex.
The two suspects are being held in the Colbert County Jail.
