Federal Agents Raid Drug Warehouse Near Arnold

Agents are now serving warrants and freezing the assets of the suspected drug sellers, who disguise their drugs as "bath salts."

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency along with Immigration and Customs and the Internal Revenue Service raided a suspected synthetic drug warehouse Wednesday near Orchard Drive and Old Highway 21.

Helicopters flew overhead as federal agents boxed and bagged piles of evidence alongside the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, according to Patch news partners Fox2Now.

"These are individuals that are not only despicable, but they're driven and motivated by greed," DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge James Shroba told Fox2Now.
