LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Three people were arrested Monday after investigators found meth inside an east Lincoln home, court documents say.

Around 5:40 p.m., officers served a no-knock search warrant at a home near 40th and South streets as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation.

Carlos Hernandez, Amy Hicks and Kyle Kumpula were living at the home and selling meth, according to an arrest affidavit.

Investigators used a ram to get inside the home.  Hicks, Hernandez and another man were then taken into custody, the affidavit said.

Inside the home, authorities found 629.8 grams of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and items sometimes used in drug sales, police said.

After serving the warrant, investigators found Kumpula in a nearby parking lot and took him into custody.

He had 14.3 grams of meth in the vehicle and $229 in cash, according to the affidavit.
