Police find drugs, guns after busting large party at Airbnb rental in College Station

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Police say a noise complaint led them to a large party with illegal narcotics and firearms at an Airbnb rental just after midnight Sunday in College Station.

Police in College Station responded to the complaint at 224 Estates Circle off Holleman Drive and noted loud music, yelling, and people discarding firearms and drugs, according to probable cause affidavits. Upon opening the front door, police say they observed 50 to 60 people, who appeared to be mostly underaged, inside a smoke-filled room that smelled like marijuana.

Bryan police officers also monitoring the party on social media pages responded with CSPD to assist with breaking up the event.

Most everyone inside the home left the area when police arrived but five people were detained and arrested on various charges.

Taylan Jaquese Johnson, 19, of Bryan was the host and organizer of the party, police say in their reports. Officers say they found marijuana in his underwear. He was charged with Disorderly Conduct by Noise and Possession of Marijuana. He was released on bonds. Online jail records show he was previously arrested in 2022 on marijuana possession charges.
