Four persons were arrested Wednesday after a three-month investigation by the Kosciusko County Drug Task Force.

Those arrested included: David G. Nunez, 41, of 2846 S. Woodland Hills Drive, Warsaw, charged with dealing cocaine, $20,000 bond; Ruben Castro, 27, of 707 Kings Highway, Winona Lake, visiting a common nuisance, $250 bond; Amanda L. Ulrey, 31, of 918 E. Center St., Warsaw, maintaining a common nuisance, $2,000 bond; and Brent R. McKay, 25, of 1615 Miami Blvd., Kokomo, visiting a common nuisance.

The investigation came as a result of tips from Kosciusko County citizens, according to a press release from the drug task force.

Over the last couple of months, an undercover officer purchased several ounces of cocaine from Nunez. On Wednesday, an undercover officer again purchased cocaine from Nunez and then Drug Task Force officers made the arrests.

Nunez is considered to be a large-scale narcotics dealer in Kosciusko County.

After the arrests were made at 533 E. Center St., Warsaw, Task Force officers served a search warrant on and secured the Nunez residence. Items seized during the search included items associated with dealing narcotics and a large amount of counterfeit money.

Assisting the Drug Task Force was the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, Warsaw Police Department and the Goshen Drug Task Force.

The Task Force asks that citizens call the task force office at 372-2494 or the sheriff's department at 267-5667 with any information regarding illegal drug activity. [[In-content Ad]]
