Madison County drug bust leads to cash, stolen firearms and TVs

HARVEST, AL.
A man was arrrested Tuesday morning during a drug bust and authorities found
$3,000, televisions police believe are stolen and nine stolen firearms in a storage facility in Ardmore, Tenn., according to Sgt. Michael Salomonsky of the Madison County Narcotics Unit.
Nickolas McNutt was arrested and charged with drug trafficking, possession of a controlled substance and tampering with evidence, he said. McNutt's bond was set at $125,000. The investigation stretches from Madison County to Limestone County and even in to Lincoln and Giles Counties in Tennessee.
Salomonsky said the Madison County Sheriff's Department, Madison Police Force and Limestone County Sheriff's Department were involved in the investigation. He said the Madison County Sheriff's SWAT team, armed with a search warrant, entered a Harvest home on Lockport Road off Old Railroad Bed Tuesday morning at 6:30 and found the subject trying to flush pills down the toliet, Salomonsky said.
He said officers were able to grab some of the pills from the toliet, and a further search found 150 oxycodone pills and some televisions believed to be stolen. Officers also found a receipt for a storage facility in Ardmore that led them to find nine firearms, believed to be three handguns and six rifles, stolen in possible burglaries in Giles, Lincoln and Madison Counties, Salomonsky said.
Officers are trying to located the owners of the firearms.
"When you do a search warrant and you look for drugs and paperwork and - boom - you find a storage receipt, that's great," Salomonskys said. "That's a treasure."
He said the investigation continues.
