BROWNSVILLE - A Matamoros cop sits in the Cameron County jail, along with three others arrested in drug raid.

Investigators say the DA's Special Operation Unit and the Constable's Office raided the apartment. It's attached to a house in the Brownsville Country Club.

Silvia Lahoz tells us she felt safe in the neighborhood and was surprised at what happened just across the street from her house.

NEWSCHANNEL 5 talked to the man who owns the home. He wouldn't talk on camera. But he says he didn't know anything about his tenants or what they were doing.

We've learned the homeowner's been cleared of any wrongdoing and will not face any charges.
