Busted in Edna

Edna police have seized over $20,000 in cash and more than four ounces of marijuana following a year-long investigation led by Lieutenant Derrick Bermea. The investigation began after reports of cocaine sales by Jadrien Gutierrez. Hours of surveillance showed numerous short vehicle visits and hand-to-hand transactions by Gutierrez. Bermea was able to make several control buys from Gutierrez which eventually led to a search warrant of the residence. During the search, police found cash in envelopes and over four ounces of marijuana.
