Monty Anderson, 54, and his wife Bonnie Anderson, 55, whose son, Daniell, 21, allegedly shot police officers during a drug raid Dec. 7, were taken into custody about 5:45 p.m. at the Elmwood bungalow where Monty Anderson's daughter lives, the sources said. Six police officers reportedly came to the residence and took the couple into custody. Sources said police had found about 3.15 kilograms of marijuana at the Jubilee Avenue house where the drug raid took place last week. Asked later if the Andersons were surprised they were arrested, Monty's daughter, who did not want her name used, said: "Of course they were." Almost an hour later, police arrested Daniell Anderson's girlfriend, Ashley Cochrane, 20, at the same Elmwood home. Sources said Cochrane had been at a Christmas party at Lord Roberts School. A police spokesman later confirmed Monty and Bonnie Anderson were at police headquarters. He could not confirm whether police had also brought Cochrane there. The spokesman did not say why the Andersons were speaking to police. The Andersons returned to the Elmwood house about 9 p.m. Thursday. The Anderson couple declined to answer questions, though Monty Anderson said: "It's been a rough day." Daniell Anderson was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly shot and wounded two police officers who were executing a search warrant. A third officer also suffered a gunshot wound, though it is believed he was shot by a fellow officer during the incident. Daniell Anderson was also injured in the raid, losing three fingers and suffering a gunshot wound to his elbow. - --- MAP posted-by: Amy
