Pct. 4 concludes pair of narcotics investigations
Last month the Liberty County Pct. 4 Constable’s Office concluded two narcotics investigations with the execution of two search warrants.
On Wednesday, July 26, Pct. 4 investigators conducted an investigation at a residence in the 3100 Block of North Winfree Street in Dayton which began after receiving an anonymous tip approximately five months prior.
A break in the investigation resulted in the development of enough probable cause to secure a search warrant for the residence, issued by Liberty County 253rd Judicial District Judge Chap Cain.
The search warrant was executed with the assistance of the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office SRT Team.
The Dayton Police Department assisted Pct. 4 investigators with processing the scene, which resulted in the seizure of approximately 10 pounds of suspected marijuana, approximately 1.5 grams of suspected fentanyl, digital scales and packaging materials.
