• K9 Duke helped locate roughly 500 pounds of methamphetamine inside the residence, which officials described as one of Northern California’s largest recent seizures.
• Two people, Jose Ortiz-Rivera, 40, and Adela Lamas-Quintero, 47, were arrested and booked into the Sonoma County Jail with bail set at $500,000 each.
• Detectives recovered a loaded firearm and cash during the operation, though initial reports differ on the amount of money seized.
• A vehicle linked to the target initially stopped for deputies, then fled and crashed; the driver ran into an unrelated home and was not found despite a search supported by San Jose police.
