Search warrant yields pot, gun, money at Pasadena home

PASADENA -- Police arrested two people and seized marijuana, a handgun and cash Saturday while serving a search warrant at a Northwest Pasadena home.

As part of an ongoing investigation, a team made up of SWAT, vice and K-9 officers carried out the raid about 1:20 p.m. at the home in the 1600 block of N. Marengo Avenue, across the street from the soccer field of Washington Middle School, Pasadena police officials said.

Inside the home, police found under a pound of marijuana pre-packaged for sales, a handgun and an undisclosed amount of cash believed to be proceeds from drug sales, Lt. Chris Russ said.

Two men were arrested at the home, he said. One for possession of marijuana for sales, and the other for battery on a police officer during arrest.

Their names were not released Sunday pending further investigation, Russ said.
