Two Incline Village bartenders are facing narcotics charges after being arrested by the Washoe County Sheriff's Office All Threats All Crimes (ATAC) Unit.
A series of undercover operations took place between January 28 and February 4, 2016 and were directed towards bartenders at local bars and grills who were suspected of selling drugs to patrons.
ATAC was successful in purchasing cocaine from two bartenders at two separate establishments. As a result of these operations ATAC was able to secure a warrant for one of the subject’s vehicle, resulting in the seizure of 9.2 grams of powder cocaine.
Juan Pablo Lepe, an employee of Rookies Sports Bar and Grill, was arrested on February 10, 2016 and booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on multiple drug-related charges as a result of the investigation. Nicholas Webber, an employee of the Village Pub, was arrested on February 19 and also booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on multiple drug-related charges.
ATAC received assistance form the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division and K-9 Unit in successfully completing these operations.
