— Several squad cars from the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office, Delavan and SWAT descended on a Delavan home Wednesday afternoon.

A residence on Pine and Birchwood streets was overtaken by officers executing a search warrant. The street was closed by squad cars and officers, some in full protective gear and carrying heavy weapons.

Law enforcement authorities declined to comment on the nature of the search warrant. A deputy at the scene said at least one person was detained.

Officials declined to comment further on the warrant.

or, maybe you can look at the history for that residence and deduce from the stories previously written about the four prior search warrants in this neigborhood that it was most likely a drug search...

"carrying heavy weapons"

How does the reporter know the weapons were heavy? Did he/she actually get the opportunity to hold the weapons?
