A Cabot man sits in jail without bond charged in central Arkansas' biggest meth bust ever.  The Pulaski County Sheriff's Department says $450,000 worth of ice meth is off the streets.

Inside Walter Nunez’s home on Reno Drive in Cabot, officers found a shrine to the patron saint of drug dealers.  The shrine to Jesus Malverde included a shot of tequilla, a Marlboro cigarette to smoke, some quarters and $6 in $1 bills.

"It's pretty shocking because this is notoriously a good neighborhood," neighbor Hunter Holcomb said.

Thursday investigators found ten pounds of ice meth worth $450,000, $124,000 in cash and a stash of weapons inside Nunez's house just two doors down from where Holcomb lives.

"I know the reputation of Cabot is safe and it's got a good schools, so I did locate here for that."

Holcomb knew something was up when he saw lots of cars outside his neighbor's house Thursday afternoon. Investigators say it's the first problem they've had in the area.

Holcomb hopes it wraps up sooner rather than later.  "Makes me a little suspicious, but I think it's just an isolated incident."

Ice meth is a form of the drug that is smokable. Authorities say ice usually ends up in Arkansas by way of Mexico. Nunez faces felony drug charge so far. Investigators are still trying to figure out if he was allowed to have weapons and they expect to file more charges.

Who ever told the neighbor mr. Holcomb that cabot schools are a good place told him a lie. Our schools are known for the drugs, fights aich kids getting by with everything. Cabot is money so they try to keep the drama hush hush. Why dont someone ask about the kid who brought a .45 to school and was gona blow all the guys in his class up cause "he didnt like them". Or how many kids are in ALE for bringing drugs to school. Or the teacher that slept with the student and the student weny and told the teachers son because they were classmates! Cabot schools are not a good and safe place! I also agree with the statement the boarder patrol needs to step up there game and if your not a legal citizen go home!

Until the borders are secure , massive amounts of drugs will continue to flow into the U.S. . The reason our borders will not in our life time be secured , is because once illegals are given amnesty , the Democratic Party will have that many more millions of votes . We are soon to be a one party country. If humans and drugs are crossing the border so easily , it is just as easy for other types of terrorist to enter , toting bombs . For the Democrats , it is all about future voters. God help us.

What the heck, lets bring in a couple million more illegal immigrants to the good old USA. I am sure this guy wasn't here legally.
