Seven suspects are charged in U.S. District Court after federal drug agents seized 7 pounds of meth and an arsenal of weapons from a Stillwater town house.

A Twin Cities D-E-A officer says the meth could have fetched up to $100,000 on the street. He calls it a, quote, “very significant bust.”

The criminal complaint says investigators got information that the drugs were being brought to Minnesota by a trafficking organization. Additional investigation led D-E-A agents to a Stillwater town house, where they conducted surveillance.

In addition to the drugs and guns, agents also found about $15,000 in cash in a bedroom.

A Washington County sheriff’s commander says the bust is one of the largest of its kind ever in the county.
