Laredo, TX (Webb County) – Today, the Webb County Sheriff’s Office executed a narcotics search warrant at a home on the 500 block of Rio Amur, in Rio Bravo, where heroin was believed to be distributed.
During the execution of the warrant, investigators discovered Victor Gutierrez, 20, in possession of 2 grams of powder heroin and also found a shotgun inside the residence.
Investigators also discovered a 15 year-old female juvenile accompanying Gutierrez.
Gutierrez was charged with possession of controlled substance, felony 3, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, felony 3. Investigators obtained further evidence to additionally charge Gutierrez with sexual assault of a child, felony 2.
He was remanded to the Webb County Jail with no bond.
“This was a great job performed by my team as these narcotics were taken off our streets. They were very thorough during the investigation and were able to secure additional evidence and charged Gutierrez with sexual assault of a child. I remind the public to report any suspicious activities by calling 956-415-BUST (2878). You can be eligible for a cash reward,” said Sheriff Martin Cuellar.
I congratulate our narcotics unit for immediately getting to work on these cases. After receiving several calls of these overdoses, we knew something wasn t right and we launched these investigations. There are known drug dealers in the area who use fentanyl to lace other drugs. Combined, these two drugs can be fatal, Sheriff Martin Cuellar said. The first case occurred on Oct. 27 in the 1400 block of Orquidia Lane in Rio Bravo. Rolando Vallejo, 18, and Krystal Vallejo, 17, were arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.
