A Las Vegas home that police say was used as a drug distribution hub, located within walking distance of several schools, was raided by a SWAT team after an extended investigation by the Clark County School District Police Department. Authorities arrested Jeremiah Cochran and seized a cache of drugs, guns, and other evidence.

Why it matters

The proximity of the alleged drug operation to active school campuses raised serious concerns about student safety and the potential for minors to be involved in or exposed to illegal drug activity. The Clark County School District Police Department took the lead on the case to protect the wellbeing of students.

The details

After detaining a teen who had left the residence on March 3, investigators identified Jeremiah Cochran as the suspect running the alleged drug den. On March 10, a SWAT team executed a search warrant and seized a handgun, a rifle, about 15 pounds of marijuana, 3.4 pounds of THC concentrate, 60 grams of cocaine, 205 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, and over 100 THC vape pens. Social media photos reportedly showed Cochran posing with guns, cash, and marijuana.

  • On March 3, police first detained a teen who had left the residence.
