Three people were arrested earlier this week after they took delivery of 550 pounds of pot. The undercover investigation began in Texas and ended inside a Ligonier home on Tuesday.

An officer with the Noble County Sheriff’s Department told NewsChannel 15 that the DEA learned of a planned delivery of marijuana to a home in Ligonier. An undercover officer with the DEA actually helped deliver the pot which was offloaded from a semi to another vehicle on Tuesday before it was delivered to a home locaed in the 1500 block of Longwood Lane in Ligonier. Once the pot was delivered, several local SWAT teams and police agencies went to the home where they arrested 24 year old Hector Manuel Lopez of Ligonier, Aldo F. Perez of Detroit and 27-year old Roman Alvaro Torres of Ligonier.

All three men have been charged with possession with intent to distribute, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and aiding and abetting.

Besides the pot, officers also found a shotgun, a scale with packaging materials, drug ledgers and $45,000 in cash.

The investigation hasn’t ended with the bust and police say they expect more arrests.
