Teague officers observed a vehicle disregard a stop sign and stopped the vehicle. During the interview with the driver the officer became suspicious that he was under the influence of alcohol and requested to step out of the vehicle. Two bottles of beer fell out of the vehicle, one opened and one unopened, as the driver opened the vehicle. The officer searched the vehicle for more alcohol. The officer found another beer bottle, a glass drug pipe, and a bag of cocaine. The cocaine, as you can see from the picture, weighed in at 12.27 grams (bag and all). Further search of the vehicle revealed the officer found a carry out bag of food, which contained approximately 4 tacos. The driver and his passenger were arrested and booked into the Freestone County Jail for Possession of a Controlled Substance 4 grams or more but less than 200 grams – a 2nd Degree Felony.
With all the facts combined this case is affectionately being referred to as the “Saturday Night Party Pack.”
Great work for Teague officer doing their part to help keep the streets safe and getting drugs off the streets!
