Drug Bust in Ennis - Tire Shop at the 200 block of East Brown. Sound familiar?

Jose Landeros and Juan Fuentes-Trujillo arrested for making and selling controlled substances. Meth and Coke. Drug operations at a Tire Shop at the 200 block of E Brown. Be nice if these tire shops could just sell tires. Ennis Drug traffickers favorite drug front is tire shops. There must be a good demand in Ennis because soon as one drug front shuts down they boomerang right back. In 2008 the same area on Brown and 201 S Breckenridge was busted for Drugs when ABC Tires was also shut down.

Another Castillo arrested

Police Chief Erisman looks as if he is putting the hammer down on the drug traffic in Ennis. The Ennis Department appears to have a more trustful relationship with the DEA,FBI, and appear to be working with the North Texas HIDTA. Article here about the bust. Freddie Castillo,58, I believe was the Castillo that Navarro busted in 1987 where they found hidden money under a dog house. I guess these guys just boomerang right back even after getting caught.

These guys had a damn good operation literally under ground at the 300 block of Pebble Creek rd of off Houston School Road in Red Oak. I can't say that I am so concerned with Mary Jane but it still is illegal so congratulations to ECSODTF. 155 plants confiscated and a "Mother" plant. Seems like these fellas could shift their talents to corn production so my gas prices would go down!
