As part of an ongoing focus on quality-of-life issues, an early morning drug raid by CCPD has shut down a problem drug house near Spohn Shoreline.

At approximately 0600 hours, the Corpus Christi Police Department’s Narcotics Vice Investigations Division, assisted by the CCPD S.W.A.T team, served a search warrant at 907 Elizabeth. This warrant was the culmination of a long-term undercover investigation of the occupants and their involvement in the distribution of illegal narcotics in the City of Corpus Christi. The investigation was brought about by neighborhood complaints and was a joint effort between CCPD NVID Detectives, CCPD Violent Crime Unit and Special Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) who collaborated to shut down this neighborhood drug dealer.

During the search of the apartment investigators seized approximately 5.85 lbs of synthetic cannabinoid, 1.25 ounces of crack cocaine, 13.8 ounces of powdered cocaine, 2.25 lbs of marijuana, 2.58 grams of Ecstasy pills, 160 fluid ounces of Promethazine, and 8 grams of THC Edibles along with $7837.00 in cash believed to be proceeds from drug dealing. In addition to the illicit drugs and cash, Officers seized one handgun.

Arrested during the raid were Evaristo Triana Coleman (36), Samantha Leana Flores (35) and Jose Xavier Quintero (23). All three face five felony charges of manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance, a first-degree felony punishable by from five to ninety-nine years in prison. Coleman was additionally charged with an unrelated warrant for Aggravated Assault.

Narcotics Investigators will continue to pursue leads as a result of this operation and are confident that more arrests and seizures will follow.
