Two arrested after search warrant turns up cocaine, 17 firearms - kcbd.com

Detectives executed the warrant on Sept. 16 as part of a firearms investigation that started with Chavez and later expanded into Roosevelt County, according to the Clovis Police Department. Chavez was the focus of the original probe into unlawful possession of a firearm before investigators found the drugs and weapons stash inside his apartment.

He now faces charges of unlawful possession of a handgun by a person under 19, unlawful sale of a firearm, and possession of cocaine. He was booked into the Curry County Adult Detention Center. Police have not released details on the second person arrested or how that arrest connects to the Clovis apartment search.

For people across the Texas-New Mexico border region, this is a reminder that gun cases rarely stay contained to one address. Police have not said whether more charges or arrests are coming as the investigation continues.

Seventeen firearms is a lot of hardware to find behind one apartment door, and Clovis police still have not said where the guns came from.
