Summary-

SWAT agents raided a suspected drug operation at an East Texas apartment complex. The Longview SWAT team raided the Autumnwood Apartments on Lake Lamond Road around 9:30 Thursday morning.

A resident at the apartment complex caught video of the raid on his cell phone. Neighbors say they had seen what they thought was drug activity going on, and there was a danger of possible firearms

“We chose to use our SWAT team to serve this warrant. Also, for the safety of the community ,because there are a lot of men, women and children that live there, just in case something did go wrong,” said Longview Police PIO Kristie Brian..

“We have kids out here and we really don’t need that in our neighborhood,” said resident Michelle Bradley.

A neighbor who had seen enough tipped police about what was going
on.

“We got some help from community members. They were just tired of what was going on, and decided to call, give us information, and then we were able
to follow up on that information and obtain a search warrant. And we got a prominent drug dealer off the streets,” Brian says.

Police found drugs and guns in the apartment, and one man was taken into custody.

Neighbors say will do whatever they can to stop this from happening again.

“Another one bites the dust. It’s happening everyday all around us. People are getting killed, and to get one off the streets, that’s good. It’s
happened before and every time they come and get them. Y’all can’t stay in Autumnwood and get away with it,” Bradley says.
