Uvalde County, Texas – In a concerted effort to combat the sale and use of illicit drugs, the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office, supported by the DPS CID, DEA, Homeland Security, and ICE agents, executed a targeted operation earlier this week that yielded significant results. The operation began with a routine traffic stop, which quickly escalated into a more extensive investigation.

Following the initial stop, Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office deputies, assisted by their fellow law enforcement partners, obtained a search warrant for Motel 6 in the City of Uvalde. The search, conducted with precision and thoroughness, revealed the presence of 37.3 grams of methamphetamine, a dangerous and highly addictive substance, along with an AK-47 rifle.

This successful raid highlights the importance of interagency collaboration and showcases the commitment of Uvalde County law enforcement to maintain the safety and well-being of the community.

Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson expressed gratitude for the teamwork and dedication exhibited by all agencies involved. They emphasized that this operation is part of an ongoing endeavor to eradicate the distribution and use of illicit drugs, ensuring a safer environment for residents and visitors alike.

The investigation into the origins and distribution network of the seized methamphetamine is still underway, with law enforcement agencies committed to pursuing all leads and holding those responsible accountable for their actions.
