SCU Investigators went to the Church Street location in reference to a narcotics investigation. During the investigation, Kortney Michelle Dean, 23, gave investigators a small amount of marijuana that was inside the dwelling. While inside a security sweep of the dwelling led to a bulge underneath the mattress. Thinking the bulge a weapon, the investigator checked and discovered a green plastic box between the mattress and box springs. In the box was methamphetamine, less than 200-grams. Larry Vincent Ray Villarreal, 27, also lived at the residence and was arrested along with Dean.
