ORIGINAL POST:

The Sheriff’s Office was out on Eureka’s Albee Street just south of West Wabash this morning, conducting what a SWAT raid at an apartment building. They’re just wrapping it up.

Lt. Kyle Holt tells the Outpost’s Ryan Burns that the action was the results a “complicated, complex” investigation that involved the service of an arrest warrant and a search warrant at the location, but said he was unable to share much more information with the public at this time.

As of 8 a.m., deputies appear to have taken at least one man into custody and are talking to several other people at the scene.

As seen in the video below, taken by Outpost reader Joe McCovey, deputies were earlier using drones to peek in windows of an apartment building at the location.

We’ll update when we know more.
