Big Island police arrested three people during a drug bust in Waikoloa last Friday.

Vice officers served a search warrant on a home on Alana Street. During the search, police recovered methamphetamine, marijuana, two handguns, and various drug-related paraphernalia. They also recovered nearly $9,000 in cash and two flat screen televisions for forfeiture.

At the scene, police arrested the resident, 46-year-old Paul Solis, Sr., and two women, 24-year-old Zerica Bell-Ching and 20-year-old Ainjel Mullaley.

All three were taken to the Kona police cellblock while detectives continued the investigation.

Solis was charged with meth trafficking, promoting a detrimental drug, two counts of promoting a dangerous drug, two counts of possessing drug paraphernalia, and four firearms offenses.

His bail was set at $36,750. He was released from police custody Saturday evening after posting bail.

Police released the two women on Saturday afternoon pending further investigation.
