The Liberty County Pct. 4 Constable’s Office and the Dayton Police Department conducted a joint investigation into suspected drug activity at a residence within the Dayton city limits.
As the investigation progressed, investigators with Pct. 4 and the Dayton Police Department gathered enough evidence to prepare a probable cause affidavit in support of a search warrant.
The sworn affidavit was presented to Liberty County 75th Judicial District Judge Michelle Merendino, who granted the issuance of the search warrant.
On the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, Pct. 4 deputies and Dayton police officers executed the search warrant in the 1200 block of N. Main Street in Dayton.
The suspects in the investigation were identified as Benjamin Alexander, 49, and Stacy Miller, 44.
A search of the residence allegedly revealed suspected methamphetamine, suspected marijuana, and assorted drug paraphernalia.
Criminal charges are being referred to the Liberty County District Attorney’s Office for possession of a controlled substance in Penalty Group 1, one gram or more but less than four grams, in a drug-free zone — a second-degree felony for both Alexander and Miller.
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Constable Thornton asks anyone with information regarding narcotic trafficking to contact local law enforcement or the Liberty County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office at 936-258-4711 or by emailing robby.thornton@co.liberty.tx.us.
All tips will remain confidential.
They raided a home thinking they were slinging dope and ended up just finding small amounts for personal use. Has to be embarrassing for the police. Lol
If they need someone to check the suspected marijuana, I could conduct a joint investigation.
I’m still reporting anything about drug activity to Mr. Thornton!! He’s the MAN that will get it DONE!!!
Sell it and get yall gas money back for that waste of time
Seems like the judge issued a BS search warrant. She’s showing her incompetent behavior already
Drugs are illegal as they should be…even a small amount. When is society going to wake up and realize all drugs are bad for the brain!
