Like most suspected drug houses, the residence was filled with more than a half dozen people unrelated to each other.

Investigators had to wear masks because of the smell and filth inside the residence.

Detectives seized user amounts of methamphetamine.

Neighbors celebrated what they hope will lead to the eviction of the current tenants.

According to deputies, the house was the scene of a drive-by shooting on Jan. 14.
