{Gilbert, West Virginia}...Mingo County Sheriffs Deputies and Gilbert Police are investigating a drug bust that occurred late Friday night at a home in the Baisden area of Mingo County, just outside the city limits of Gilbert. Officers found over $100,000 in drugs and stolen property. Sgt. Salmon with the Gilbert Police Department says police sent an informant to the door of the residence, wearing a recording device, while officers stayed outside waiting for a signal that a transaction had taken place. Once the informant signaled police that he had been able to buy pills from the suspect, police got a search warrant and went inside the house, where they found items including over 90 guns, at least 21 reported stolen, a large amount of drugs, including Oxycontin and Hydrocodone. They also found three stolen vehicles, a stolen ATV, a stolen motorcycle and over a half dozen stolen lawn mowers. Tommy Mounts was arrested and taken to Mingo County Magistrate Court, where the charges were dismissed. Investigators plan to refile the charges Monday.
