With gun drawn a SWAT team of Elko County Narcotics agents raided a West Wendover home Friday, describing it as a illegal drug super market and made two arrests.
According to the Elko County Narcotics Unit press release agents spent three months investigating Juan Luis Davila, 29, and Angelica Ruby Numez-Alcala, 24, as well as perhaps other unnamed suspects before raiding the couples home at 1841 Canyon St. in West Wendover.
Both are now being held in the Elko County jail on a combined bail of over $1 million.
But while the raid was dramatic and the bails were huge, the actual amount of drugs seized were quite small.
After serving the no knock warrant and arresting the pair, agents spent several hour searching the residence and found according to the release: 2.25 ounces of meth, over four ounces of cocaine, more than 12 ounces of marijuana and a small amount of psychedelic mushrooms. Agents also seized over $10,000 in cash and two handguns, one of which was reported stolen recently in Battle Mountain.
The amounts of illicit drugs seized did not however include any amounts agents may have purchased from the couple during the three month investigation.
The affidavit that led to the warrant permitting the raid indicates that police gain probable cause by an earlier search of the couple’s trash cans.

The couple’s young child was also present during the first moments of the raid and was placed in the care of relatives.
