INDIANAPOLIS — Indy police arrested three people last weekend in a guns and drug bust at the home of a "known felon" on the city's near west side.
Joshua Canales-Martinez, 27, Katherine Maldonado, 24, and Marion Gutierrez, 31, were all arrested last Sunday afternoon while detectives with IMPD's Violent Crimes Task Force investigated a known felon they believed was dealing narcotics.
Detectives reportedly saw a car leaving the 1000 block of N. Holmes Avenue on the city's near west side and conducted a traffic stop on the car. The driver, later identified as Canales-Martinez, was detained and officers reportedly found a gun and meth inside the car.
Crews then reportedly went inside the home on N. Holmes and served a warrant. Inside, they allegedly found 14 different people. While speaking with the individuals found in the house, IMPD said they arrested Maldonado and Gutierrez.
