Texas Police Seize Dangerous Drugs Before Big Holiday Weekend

Texas law enforcement was hard at work last week with several major drug busts ahead of the long Memorial Day Weekend. Among the major raids, two men were arrested and jailed in Williamson County, Texas.

According to the report, one of the men is now facing charges of manufacturing and delivering meth, cocaine, and fentanyl. The second man is facing a charge of possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana.

The bust will go down as a win for law enforcement resulting in many drugs being taken off the street, including enough suspected fentanyl "to potentially kill more than 1,000" people.

During the bust, the following items were seized:

Approximately 10 ounces of suspected cocaine
Approximately 5 ounces of suspected methamphetamine
Approximately 7 ounces of suspected fentanyl in pill form (roughly 1,400 pills)
Approximately 4 grams of suspected oxycodone (about 11 pills)
Approximately 10 ounces of suspected promethazine
Approximately 2 pounds of suspected marijuana
One AR-15 rifle
Two handguns (including a stolen Taurus Judge and a Jimenez .380 caliber pistol)
Approximately $27,000 in cash
Numerous precious metals, including suspected gold, silver and copper
A 2023 Honda Ridgeline
A 2024 Honda Accord
