Three people were arrested on felony drug charges after a narcotics search warrant led to the discovery of several pounds of cocaine.

Officials with Metro Nashville Police said the arrests stemmed from several months of an undercover officer purchasing drugs from the defendants. 

According to investigators, four kilos of cocaine was found, as well as multiple weapons.

Michael Thompson, age 32, 31-year-old Jeffrey Jones, and 34-year-old Kevilyne Allen were arrested Tuesday in the 2500 block of Treetop Drive.

According to an affidavit, the narcotics unit and DEA officials conducted an investigation over several months. 

Over time, undercover officers reportedly purchased a half kilogram of cocaine from the defendants on multiple occasions.

According to reports, Thompson had allegedly been selling large quantities of cocaine to multiple people, including Jones.

Search warrants were executed at two of Jones' homes and two of Thompson's homes.

In total, authorities seized ten pounds of cocaine, three guns, two presses used to compact cocaine, and a money counter.

Authorities said Allen was implicated in the crime after detectives saw her try to destroy a phone used by Thompson.

Police said officers have probable cause that the three distributed more than 300 grams of cocaine in Davidson County.

All three were facing felony drug offenses. Their bond was set at $75,000 each. Officials said additional arrests were anticipated.
