Law enforcement raided the home of state Rep. Louise Alexander (D-Bessemmer) before dawn on Thursday morning in the process of executing a search warrant.

Alexander told CBS 42 the police received a tip to search for drugs. After the raid, Alexander’s son was arrested on two counts of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance.

Bessemer Police Chief Mike Roper said the raid followed a three-month investigation that is still ongoing, per NBC 13.

However, the Democratic state legislator called the raid “a political witch hunt.”

Alexander said her daughter last week was the target of a threat left at her business. In the note, Alexander’s daughter – Kimberly – was warned to drop out of her local city council race.
