The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office says a stolen car investigation led the discovery of weapons and drugs at a home in Fresno. Jose Pineda, 40, and Samuel Maciel, 20, are in custody and facing charges of manufacturing and delivering a controlled substance greater than 400 grams.
The sheriff's office says deputies went to a home to recover a stolen vehicle, but as they searched for the suspects and vehicles they spotted a controlled substance through a window. The narcotics unit was called to the home, and the substance tested positive for crystal meth, according to deputies. Eight kilograms of crystal meth was found — all of it carefully packed in bags and plastic containers.
