Cops Identify the Four Arrested After Drug Bust Downtown

The men were all Mountain View residents. Additional drugs found included LSD and ecstasy.

Law enforcement officials arrested four people Thursday after busting a DMT drug lab and suspected drug-peddling operation.

Jerrod Kensil, 29, Guadalupe Villador, 42, David Strang, 40, and Richard Rosen, 32, who are all Mountain View residents, were booked into the Santa Clara County Jail Thursday, according to Sgt. Dan Vicencio of the Mountain View police.

Police had originally arrested two men and one woman as of 5 p.m. and arrested one more man when he came home to find police searching the apartment, Vicencio said.

Mountain View police said that officers from Mountain View and Sunnyvale joined forces with a Los Altos SWAT team, members of the state Department of Justice and the Santa Clara County Specialized Enforcement Team served search warrants at four apartments in two complexes located at 242 and 228 Bush St.

Inside, law enforcement officers found heroin, LSD, ecstasy, methamphetamine, marijuana, an assault rifle, shotguns, other weapons and a dimethyltryptamine (DMT) lab.
