TEXARKANA, Texas (KSLA) - 4 men from Texarkana have been arrested on alleged drug 4 firearm crimes.
U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas Brit Featherston announced the following arrests on Thursday, May 19:
Deablo Deshon Lewis, AKA Pablo Lew, 31
Michael Darnell Peacock, AKA Fruit, 37
Terrance Lamar Peacock, AKA T, 31
Justin Marshall Owens, 40
A federal grand jury indicted the four men back on March 10. According to the indictment, starting in November of 2018 & continuing through March of 2022, the 4 men allegedly conspired with each other & others to distribute fentanyl, meth, U-47700 & marijuana. They also allegedly carried, used & possessed firearms during this time.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says as a result of their actions, 3 people died & another was seriously injured. Officials say the 4 men are responsible for dealing around $5 million worth of drugs.
“The counterfeit oxycodone pills--sometimes known as ‘blues’ or ‘M30s’--that were distributed in the Texarkana area contain deadly fentanyl,” said Featherston. “Increasingly, we are seeing more street drugs with deadly fentanyl added to them & it is killing the users. More people need to be aware of this increasing trend that can kill the recreational drug user. Simply put, one pill can kill!”
If convicted, the men could face anywhere from 25 years to life in federal prison.
