“For approximately one month the Big Spring Police Department's Narcotics Unit has been investigating the sale of narcotics from multiple apartments at Sunset Ridge” said Sgt. Tony Everett, public information officer with the BSPD. “The Narcotics Unit — with assistance from the Howard County Sheriff's Office, the Midland Department of Public Safety Narcotics Division, BSPD Criminal Investigation Division and the BSPD Tactical Team — executed three search warrants within the apartment complex.

“Six individuals were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana – two ounces or less. Approximately $3,000 in currency was seized for forfeiture, and there are multiple cases for felony delivery of a controlled substance on several individuals that will be filed at a later date, at which time arrest warrants will be issued.”

Everett said no injuries were reported as a result of the drug raid.

The apartment complex is located at 2911 W. Highway 80.
