Four people arrested in southwest Nebraska drug busts

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Four people are behind bars after a drug investigation in two Nebraska towns.

The Furnas County Sheriff’s Office says five search warrants were executed in Cambridge and Arapahoe on Tuesday.

Deputies arrested four people, and they say charges are being sought for at least two other people.

Albert Hobbs, 51, of Cambridge was arrested on suspicion of multiple felony charges related to meth, marijuana and weapons possession.

Deputies also think Hobbs intended to sell meth within 1,000 feet of a school.

Two others — James Hobbs II, 57, of Cambridge and Darla McIntyre, 59, of Arapahoe — were also arrested on several meth and marijuana-related charges.

A fourth person, 53-year-old Christine Hobbs of Cozad received a misdemeanor charge, but felony charges are pending.

The sheriff’s office was assisted by the Nebraska State Patrol in its investigation.
