2 Arrive To ‘Smoke It Up’ During El Paso Sheriff’s Strike Force Drug Bust

Late Tuesday afternoon 02-15-2011 at approximately 5:15 PM, Strike Team Deputies observed what appeared to be a narcotics transaction in the paring lot of a store in the 11000 block of Pebble Hills, according to El Paso County Sheriff’s Deputies. Deputies followed a male subject to a residence in the 3400 block of Red Sails. Deputies approached the male and identified themselves.

The 31 year-old male was found allegedly to be in possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana and possession of marijuana under 2 ounces and placed under arrest.

While Deputies were still at the location, two other male subjects arrived to the same residence. The males told undercover Deputies they were there to “smoke it up”. Both were detained. A 29 year-old male was found to be in possession of marijuana. The second male (27) had an outstanding criminal warrant for unlawful restraint. All were placed under arrest.
