A SWAT team from the Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff’s Department swarmed a Tucson area house Friday evening as part of the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, and three people were detained at two scenes, NewsNation has learned.
Authorities moved in on the home near Guthrie’s Tucson area neighborhood as part of a search warrant execution and ordered two individuals — a man and a woman — to come out; both complied.
A third individual was detained at a traffic stop nearby. It’s believed to be connected with the SWAT operation.
“When someone is detained, it means they’re not under arrest. The reason for that is to conduct further interviews, collect forensic evidence without having to put the individual into a custody situation,” Chris McDonough, a retired homicide detective, told NewsNation.
