Davis Metro Narcotics Strike Force arrested 14 men and one woman

14 men and one woman were arrested last week. One of the men, Robert Rosier, is the apartment manager. Police say he was likely just using the drugs, but some of the suspects were living with him. All the suspects except Rosier are from Honduras.Officers from the Davis Metro Narcotics Strike Force began investigating the group about three months ago. Undercover officers also bought heroin from them.
Typically, investigations like this can take a year. But police say there have been three overdoses in Davis County in the past month, so they wanted to move quickly to shut this group down. Neighbors are glad because they suspected something was going on. Kathleen Tilley said she and others saw "cars coming and going and stopping for a few minutes and then coming back out, and people that we never see around here."
"Some of the drug use was becoming very apparent, meaning people were using kind of out in the open. Even during our surveillance, it was becoming a problem for neighbors in that area," said Lt. Allen Swanson, commander of the Davis Metro Narcotics Strike Force. Police say the suspects have been deported before, some of them numerous times, but they came back into the United States. Some have even been convicted of drug-related felonies in the past. Immigration officials say they were using fake Social Security numbers and fake names. Investigators say during the bust, several people showed up to buy drugs. They also were arrested
