The Liberty County Pct. 4 Constable’s Office, along with other law enforcement agencies, executed a search warrant on a home on CR 602 around 6:15 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, resulting in five arrests and the seizure of weapons and drugs, according to Pct. 4 Constable Robby Thornton.
The search warrant execution and the arrests were the culmination of a nearly four-month-long investigation by undercover officers working with the constable’s office, Thornton said.
“We had a young man selling drugs out of his house. We had already made a couple of buys. Every time he sold us weed, he had guns on him,” he added, explaining why the search warrant execution required the assistance of multiple agencies, including the Pct. 6 Constable’s Office, Harris County office for the Drug Enforcement Administration, Dayton Police Department, Texas game wardens and the Texas DPS office out of Beaumont.
When officers arrived on the scene Thursday morning, the male suspect bolted out the back door of the two-story home and attempted to run from authorities. Thornton said the man was dropping weapons and drugs as he ran. Once he was apprehended, authorities turned their attention on the home where they reportedly found other illegal narcotics, guns and illegal vaping cartridges containing marijuana.
“No one in the home claimed the narcotics so we arrested the man and all four women in the home,” Thornton said.
When asked about the amounts of illegal substances seized, Thornton said it was a substantial amount but could not provide further details at this time. Investigators are still analyzing and preserving the evidence for a felony criminal case against the suspects.
At the time of the early-morning raid, there were several children in the home. Children’s Protective Services was called and took custody of the children until other arrangements are made.
Thornton plans to release an update to this article on Friday, at which time he will identify all five suspects as well as the charges against each. For now, they are being held in the Liberty County Jail.

Someone is singing like a bird that’s trying to get their “get out of jail free card”! At least a bunch are getting busted in the meantime!

You can tell who the snitch’s are by the low bails and usually probation. Arrested one day out the next.
The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) is the number one organization in the U.S. dedicated to legalizing cannabis. We’ve passed 14 medical cannabis laws, and we’ve run winning campaigns and legislative efforts in 11 of the 19 legalization states. No organization in the movement has changed as many cannabis laws, impacted as many patients and consumers, created as many new markets, or done more to end cannabis prohibition in the U.S. than MPP.
Re: Vee! Maybe the MPP can legalize what went on in this situation. The scumbags were not only caught with cannabis, but other illegal products that not only endangered their own children, but other children. READ THE ARTICLE THOROUGHLY! Where there are drugs, there are other criminal activities going on.
