Three juveniles under the age of five were also located inside the apartment and later released to a family member.
While searching the residence, according to Sansom, officers located the following: suspect crack cocaine in a dresser drawer; two digital scales containing drug residue; $770 in U.S. currency; additional crack cocaine; a cell phone; and hidden zip bags containing suspected crack cocaine in the living room, suspected marijuana, and another bag containing other bags commonly used in packing illegal narcotics and another digital scale.
Porter and Martin were charged with manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance in penalty group 1, greater than or equal to four grams and less than 200 grams, and possession of marijuana less than two ounces. Porter was also charged with two misdemeanor traffic warrants out of Terrell.
“The crack cocaine was field tested and tested presumptive positive,” stated Sansom. “The crack cocaine was weighed on a digital scale and weighed out to one ounce or 28 grams.”
