Statement from District Attorney Hillar Moore:

We applaud the diligent work of the EBRSO narcotics division during this investigation. Working with them allowed my office to identify those arrestees who have previously been arrested and are currently out on bond or probation/parole supervision. We have asked and filed motions to revoke the bonds of those who are out on previous bonds and the court has ordered holds on those defendants where appropriate.
The number and capacity of the weapons seized are troubling as is the “glock switch” which was seized.
