Local and state officials conducted simultaneous raids Monday so none of those arrested could tip off any of the others, the Lyon sheriff's office said.

Noelle Evanson, 19, was booked in the Lyon County jail under $562,500 bail for trafficking a controlled substance and other narcotics offenses. A 15-year-old juvenile was arrested at the same residence in a mobile home park.

Two arrests at a South Main Street home put Kathleen Cole, 41, in jail on charges of sales of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia and child endangerment. Her bail is set at $31,115.

Shawnee Irwin, 30, was arrested at the same home and is under a no-bail hold for possession of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia, probation violation and child endangerment.

Ronald Raiche Jr. was arrested at a Yerington casino and is being held under $135,805 bail on charges of possession of marijuana, burglary, forgery, possession of paraphernalia and possession of stolen property.

The raids were conducted by the sheriff's office, Yerington police, Nevada Parole and Probation and the Tri-Net Narcotic Task Force.
