The Mono County Narcotics Task Force, Mono County Sheriff's Department and Mammoth Lakes Police Department all helped with an extensive investigation into cocaine sales in Mammoth Lakes.

Thursday officers served a warrant and arrested 70-year-old Jack Jerry Colby. The Mono County Sheriff's Department says during the search officers seized more than $19,000 from narcotics sales. They also seized more than one and a half pounds of cocaine, one gram of methamphetamine and a small amount of marijuana along with packaging materials and scales.

Colby is being held in the Mono County Jail. Charges are still pending.
