On Friday, April 11, 2025, law enforcement officers from the Nevada Police Department, Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, and the El Dorado Springs Police Department executed a search warrant at a residence in 2500 block of E. Johnson Drive as part of an ongoing investigation into the distribution of methamphetamine and other controlled substances.
The subject
of the investigation, a Cedar County resident, had been under surveillance for
suspected drug trafficking activity. During the execution of the search
warrant, law enforcement located a significant quantity of methamphetamine,
multiple controlled substance pills, and a loaded handgun.
As a result
of the operation:
• Two
individuals were taken into custody on charges related to illegal possession of
firearms and trafficking of controlled substances.

individual was arrested on outstanding warrants issued by Cedar County.
This
coordinated effort between agencies underscores the commitment of local law
enforcement to combat drug-related crime and ensure the safety of our
communities.
