    Lincoln Raid Unearths Drugs and Weapons

    Lincoln police made a massive bust after a suspicious package triggered a controlled delivery—leading to the seizure of over ten pounds of marijuana, THC wax, mushrooms, alprazolam pills, fifteen guns, tons of ammo, and $1,600 in cash. The operation began when state patrol flagged the package, which a 25-year-old, Isaiah Saddler, brought inside his home. SWAT then raided the residence, detaining Saddler and others. He now faces multiple charges including firearm possession, drug distribution, and money laundering, with a $25,000 bond and court date set for July 13th. Authorities continue investigating this major drug and weapons trafficking case. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
