WINONA. Minn. – More criminal charges may be filed in the wake of the massive police operation Friday on a suspected drug house on Sioux Street. There was only one arrest in the raid — a man wanted on a felony warrant for armed robbery in Mower County. Besides the arrested man, Antoine Davis, six other people exited the house on police command. Chief Deputy Sheriff Jeff Mueller said these six individuals were questioned but not arrested at the time. Still to be determined, Mueller said, was who owned guns and drugs seized in the operation. Once connections are made, if any, the individuals can be summoned to court in writing.
Confiscated in the house:
> Drugs. 607 grams of marijuana, 685.5 grams of psylocibin mushrooms; 26 suspected molly tabs, also known as Ecstasy; a jar of psychoactive cannabis wax; and 30 psychoactive cannabis cartridges.
> Firearms. Three guns: A loaded Glock 30 handgun, and two loaded AK47 pistols.
> Cash. $1,854.
Mueller said that the Sheriff’s Office had received information that Antoine Davis was staying at the Sioux Street house and had an active felony warrant for his arrest stemming from the robbery conviction in Mower County. Subsequent information was developed indicating the possibility of narcotics and other firearms at the Sioux Street house, Mueller said. Davis was turned over to Mower County authorities the day of the raid.
