A Walla Walla couple was arrested on drug charges during an early-morning SWAT team raid, police said.

The arrests of Debra Lynn Hong, 38, and her husband, Baldwin G. Hong, 46, were the result of several weeks of investigation by the Special Teams Unit drug detectives, said Walla Walla police Officer Tim Bennett.

The Emergency Services Unit SWAT team served a warrant to search the Hong's rental property on 123 E. Sumach at 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, Bennett said.

Drug paraphernalia and computer equipment were seized from the basement apartment, he said.

Baldwin Hong was booked into the Walla Walla County jail on suspicion of conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop.

Debra Hong was jailed on the same allegation, along with conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine.
