• 9:33 a.m., Jose and Graciela Celaya's house, 6200 block of West Oklahoma Street. Most of the cash and drugs that detectives seized were found here, where Alejandro Guerena's wife, Pauline, and child were found, along with Graciela Celaya, two unidentified women and another child.Pauline Guerena let detectives inside the home, where they found a large shoebox under a bed containing about $94,000, a bag of marijuana in the stove, ammunition, an AK-47 rifle, other guns and bulletproof vests. Seven vehicles were found at the residence and drug-sniffing dogs alerted officers to the smell of narcotics on most of the vehicles.
That's quite a bit of money but it's not illegal to own it AFAIK. So this is where they found "most of the drugs" and that is described as "a bag of marijuana in the stove." A trash bag full? A gallon baggie full? A quart ziplock? A snack-sized ziplock?
Of course the obligatory media report of an AK-47 with no mention of whether it's full-auto (legal with proper paperwork) or a semi-auto which is very common and legal with no special permit required.
The drug-sniffing dog alerted to "narcotics" in "most of the vehicles." Given that 90% of all paper currency has detectable amounts of cocaine on it that's not particularly notable. Do those dogs tell their handlers which "narcotic" they are alerting to? One bark for pot, two barks for crack, three for meth?
You are working to hard for excuses. Actually, snifferdogs at Arizona checkpoints stop very few vehicles. It depends on what they are trained for.
Does this translate to "home of friend of his sister-in-law"?
