SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County sheriff spoke outside an East Side home on Tuesday about a drug bust that resulted in two arrests.
Identities of the people arrested are unknown as of Tuesday evening, but Sheriff Javier Salazar said they were allegedly gang-affiliated and produced narcotics in a home in the 200 block of Nelson Avenue.
The two were taken into custody during a traffic stop after leaving the home located in the Denver Heights neighborhood, Salazar said.
Narcotics recovered by BCSO (Bexar County Sheriff’s Office)
BCSO deputies and a SWAT team entered the residence and discovered an estimated $10,000 worth of drugs, according to Salazar, including:
A half pound of powdered cocaine in brick form
Several ounces of crack cocaine
About a pound of methenamine
Several pounds of marijuana
THC vape cartridges
Salazar said he believes the two arrested received the “powdered cocaine here and then cooked it out into crack.”
Additionally, at least two weapons were recovered, along with a stolen “high-end” pickup truck, Salazar said.
“It is highly likely they will be facing federal charges — if not for the drugs, then certainly for the weapons in conjunction with the drugs,” Salazar said, noting the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) assisted in the operation.
An assault rifle was also propped next to a window of the home “as if they were waiting for something,” Salazar said.
There had been multiple people walking in and out of the house in addition to those arrested, Salazar said.
He said BCSO had been working on the case for “several weeks.”
