Douglas County officers say one person has been arrested and another is being sought after a months-long drug investigation.

Gerald Thomas Patrick Elliott III, 19, of Gardnerville, was arrested July 5 on multiple drug trafficking charges. Investigators say they made several drug buys from Elliott over the course of their investigation involving Ecstasy, psilocybin mushroom and marijuana.

He is being held on a no-bail warrant in the Douglas County Jail.

Authorities said Monday that they are also looking for another Gardnerville man, 19-year-old Sean Martin. Investigators allege he took part in one of drug transactions. He is charged in an arrest warrant with conspiracy to traffic in a controlled substance.
