Olney home investigation
Horsch's arrest led investigators to a home on Chew Avenue in Olney. There, officials said they found more guns, ammo, drugs, chemicals allegedly used to make drugs and a 55-gallon drum attached to the water lines.
On Wednesday, crews began excavating at the home, digging up water pipes connected to the home, and using cameras to search for potential evidence.
What we don't know:
It's not clear what exactly police were searching for in those pipes. Now that the search at the home has concluded it's not clear if there will be more charges against Horsch.
