In addition to cocaine and various other drugs, a total of 45 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition were seized during the raid, along with approximately $8,000 in cash.

Brent Arthur Taylor, 48, and Connie Lorraine Holm, 52, were subsequently booked into Iron County Jail, where they are being held without bail as of Monday. Each faces multiple felony counts related to drug possession and illegal possession of dangerous weapons.

According to the probable cause statement filed in support of the arrests, Taylor operated what drug task force agents would consider a "one-stop shop."
