OTHELLO — Three people are in jail in connection with a series of non-injury drive-by shootings in Othello and a subsequent search warrant at an Othello residence last week.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office says deputies served the search warrant at a residence in the Edson Tracts area of Othello on Thursday. The warrant related to a series of drive-by shootings that took place in the Edson Tracts area. There was no reported injuries in the shootings, but through their investigation deputies were able to obtain the search warrant for the Edson Tracts residence.

Deputies recovered two pistols, a scale, brass knuckles and drug paraphernalia. The following individuals were arrested and booked into the Adams County Jail in connection with the raid: Alondra I. Yanez on an outstanding Department of Corrections warrant, Jose A. Bonilla for unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm and Miguel A. Torres on an outstanding Department of Corrections warrant.
