Feds arrest 28 in drug bust around Houston
HOUSTON
U.S. Attorney John Bales in Beaumont says officials arrested 28
defendants Tuesday in and around Beaumont, Houston and suburban
Houston on charges of possessing and distributing methamphetamine
and cocaine. Another 13 arrest warrants have been issued for
methamphetamine trafficking.
Prosecutors say the drug ring is linked to the large drug
cartels operating out of Mexico. Authorities believe the drugs were
taken into Texas and routed to other areas across the country.
The defendants each could face life in prison if convicted.
