Photo courtesy of Tri-Net Drug officers seized nearly a half million dollars in drugs and cash from three homes in Dayton and Carson City during raids early Thursday morning. Also seized were two handguns and an AK-47. The busts are of Jesus Malvedere, Mexico's Robin-Hood like hero from the late 19th century once known as the "Generous Bandit," but now best known as: "The Narco Saint," the patron saint of drug smugglers.
