KEARNEY Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol are looking for a 47-year-old man after they found drugs, guns and cash in his rural Kearney home.

While serving a search warrant early Wednesday at the home of Robert Hainsworth, 47, troopers seized 33 marijuana plants, 6 pounds of processed marijuana, 71 grams of methamphetamine, 86 grams of cocaine and more than 500 loose pharmaceutical pills.

The investigators also confiscated 18 rifles and shotguns, one of which was reported stolen during a residential burglary in Grand Island. They also seized $8,741 in cash. Hainsworth was not home when the warrant was served.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Hainsworth on seven felony charges related to the search.

Hainsworth's home is at 26215 Grand Island Road, about 12 miles north of Kearney and several miles south of Pleasanton.

The State Patrol was assisted by its SWAT team, the Buffalo County Sheriff's Department and Good Samaritan Hospital EMS in its search.

Anyone with information on Hainsworth's whereabouts is asked to contact the State Patrol's Troop C headquarters in Grand Island at 385-6000 or their local law enforcement agency.
