K-9 Jeffrey’s alert at 7‑Eleven leads to narcotics arrest
A welfare check at a 7‑Eleven on Rankin turned into a narcotics investigation after a K‑9 alert led officers to methamphetamine and used needles with suspected heroin residue; an active Harris County warrant led to an arrest and a felony drug charge.
Officer Trevino responded to a welfare check at the 7‑Eleven on Rankin after a male was found unconscious near a BMW. Officers found the BMW displaying plates from another vehicle, confirmed the man had an active Harris County warrant, and called K‑9 Officer C. Haroun with K‑9 Jeffrey. After Jeffrey gave a positive open‑air alert at the front passenger side, a search uncovered used needles with suspected heroin residue and a baggie later field‑tested positive for methamphetamine; the Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted a Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance – Penalty Group 1 charge.
