TERRELL, Texas — A grandmother is being held on bonds totaling $550,000 after police say she brought her granddaughter to a drug deal with an undercover narcotics investigator last week in Terrell.
Terrell Police Department Captain A.D. Sansom says narcotics officers received information of a woman, Ana Rosa, who was selling illegal narcotics in the city limits of Terrell.
“An undercover Terrell Police Department Narcotics Investigator made contact, and arranged to purchase a specified amount of methamphetamine,” stated Sansom. “The suspect was more than willing and a price, time, and location were set.”
Rosa, another male, identified as 39-year-old Ronnie Brown, and an infant child, later identified as Rosa’s granddaughter, arrived at the predetermined location where they met with the undercover investigator.
The officer identified himself and Rosa was taken into custody while in possession of five grams of suspected methamphetamine.
Brown was taken into custody without incident on active Terrell Police Department warrants.
Rosa confessed to further drug possession after entering the Terrell Police Department jail which was located in a baggie in her bra, according to Sansom.
The total weight of methamphetamine was determined to be 6.3 grams, stated Sansom.
Rosa was charged with manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance in penalty group 1 greater than or equal to four grams and less than 200 grams and abandon or endanger a child, criminal negligence. Rosa was later transported to the Kaufman County Jail where she is being held on the two charges with bonds of $500,000 and $50,000, respectively.
The infant was released to her mother. Sansom says investigators are following up with Child Protective Services.
