BIG SPRING -- A S.W.A.T. team arrests accused drug dealers at a Big Spring home.
Dakota Anguiano, David Morales, Abigail Valencia and an unnamed teenager were arrested during a S.W.A.T. raid around 6:30 PM on February 28th.
The Big Spring Police Narcotic Unit and a S.W.A.T. team (consisting of Big Spring Police and Howard County Sheriff's deputies) executed a search warrant at a home in the 1000 block of East 14th Street.
Anguiano, 18, reportedly saw the S.W.A.T. team approaching through the home's surveillance cameras, and he reportedly ran out the back door.
However, officers quickly caught up to Anguiano and arrested him.
Police say Anguiano was armed with a handgun at the time of his arrest.
Meanwhile, the S.W.A.T. team and narcotics officers raided the home.
Officers reportedly found a small amount of marijuana, $1,600 cash and two handguns -- which officers say might have been stolen -- inside the home.
Officers arrested the three people inside the home -- Morales, 17, Valencia, 17 and the juvenile -- and they seized the money, weapons and marijuana.
Now, Anguiano is charged with possession of marijuana, felon in possession of a firearm and a parole violation.
Morales is charged with felon in possession of a firearm.
Valencia is charged with possession of marijuana.
Police say the fourth teenager -- a runaway -- was released to their parents without any charges being fined.
Police are tracing the origins of the three seized guns.
Police were still investigating the incident Friday.
