Washoe County Sheriff’s Deputies say they arrested two Incline Village bartenders on narcotics charges after a series of undercover operations earlier this month.

Deputies say the undercover operations took place between January 28 and February 4, 2016 and were directed toward bartenders at local bars and grills who were suspected of selling drugs to patrons.

Deputies say authorities bought cocaine from two bartenders at two separate establishments. As a result, they say the Sheriff’s Office All Threats All Crimes (ATAC) Unit was able to secure a warrant for one of the subject’s vehicle, resulting in the seizure of 9.2 grams of powder cocaine. 

Deputies say Juan Pablo Lepe (37), an employee of Rookies Sports Bar and Grill, was arrested on February 10th, and booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on multiple drug-related charges as a result of the investigation. 

And they say Nicholas Webber (29), an employee of the Village Pub, was arrested on February 19th and also booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on multiple drug-related charges.
