James Harold Moore, 32, was jailed on $53,100 bail on drug trafficking and other charges following his arrest Tuesday night.

Moore was sitting at a table preparing to weigh out methamphetamine when members of the Elko Combined Narcotics Unit showed up to serve a search warrant, authorities said.

Carolin Aldous, 33, and Jacob Lucas Kelley, 21, also were at the home and were arrested on lesser charges.

While at the residence, authorities said they learned a delivery of more drugs was expected.

Surveillance was set up, and Rodolfo Romero-Gaeta, 22, was arrested early Wednesday. Authorities said he was carrying about three ounces of methamphetamine.
