Douglas County Sheriff's deputies shut down Highway 88 at Waterloo Lane while entering a home where they received word a drug trafficking suspect was hiding.
The highway was closed for about 45 minutes while officers searched the home at the corner for David Gomez, 22, of Gardnerville.
Gomez was not found inside the house, according to Sgt. Tom Mezzetta of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
