Suspects in the distribution of drugs at Douglas High School were arrested Tuesday at a Sunridge residence where deputies also found a cache of stolen weapons, drug paraphernalia and aviation gear.
Arrested by the Special Weapons and Tactics Team early Tuesday were:
- Antonio Michael Wood, 23, charged with two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, possession of stolen property, ex-felon in possession of firearms, trafficking in a controlled substance. Wood's bail was set at $75,000, but he has a no-bail hold for violation of his California parole.
- Kurt Donovan Hewlett, 19, charged with two counts trafficking in a controlled substance, conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, possession of stolen property. His bail is $25,000 cash.
- Annalyse Elizabeth Klekar, 18, trafficking in a controlled substance, conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Her bail is $15,000.
They are to appear Wednesday morning before East Fork Justice Jim EnEarl for arraignment.
The arrests were the culmination of a month-long investigation into alleged cocaine distribution by Wood and Hewlett by the sheriff's office Street Enforcement Team.
Investigators allegedly made a number of controlled purchases from Wood and Hewlett, according to reports.
Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Jim Halsey said staff at Douglas High School had information that Wood and Hewlett were responsible for selling Ecstasy at the school.
Investigators identified Wood as a suspect in a burglary that occurred Sunday at Minden-Tahoe Airport. A number of AK-47 and SKS assault rifles were stolen along with sporting-type firearms, portable global positioning system units and aviation electronics gear.
Authorities recovered 15.8 grams of suspected psilocybin mushrooms, 127 suspected Ecstasy tablets, drug paraphernalia, prescription pills, a price list, firearms, GPS units and aviation gear.
Halsey said Wood may face federal charges by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms for being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm.
