The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit (SIU) conducted an investigation regarding the sales of drugs in the area, resulting in two individuals being arrested on various drug-related charges.  Reports led investigators and the Special Response Team (SRT) to a home on Fifer Street, in Kerrville, in which investigators obtained a search warrant for the home.

Prior information was relayed to authorities that there might be the presence of firearms at the location, and the SRT was deployed for the protection of all present at the scene.
