Weed-Seed unit makes drug bust

A 35-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested by the Weed and Seed Task Force on charges of trafficking cocaine.

The task force, composed of officers from Metro Police, North Las Vegas Police, Nevada Highway Patrol and FBI, served two federal search warrants at 6523 Bush Clover Lane, near Lake Mead and Hollywood boulevards, and Apartment A at 1900 Alwill St., near Vegas and Rancho drives.

"Duster," the NHP's yellow Labrador retriever who was honored earlier this year by the FBI for outstanding service, also assisted in searching the two residences.

Seized in the searches were 33 grams of rock cocaine, 118 grams of powder cocaine, a .22-caliber Luger handgun and approximately $1,600 in cash, authorities said.

Andre Harris was arrested at the Bush Clover Lane address on a charge of trafficking a controlled substance. He is scheduled to appear before a federal judge Wednesday.

The task force arrested another person, whose name was not released, at the Alwill location for outstanding local warrants, authorities said.
