Texas undercover cops arrest three in cocaine bust

Pasadena, Texas undercover officers worked with the Texas Drug Enforcement Agency to arrest three men dealing $15,000 worth of cocaine in Houston, Texas.
"The Texas officers went far and beyond because information led them out of their jurisdiction, and they still made the arrest," Al Garcia, Pasadena, Texas police spokesman, said.

Several Pasadena, Texas detectives, whose names will remain anonymous for undercover purposes, received information from a "confidential informant" about a big drug deal happening in Houston, Texas last week.

Assisted by Texas DEA officers, both agencies surveillanced the suspected drug house off Will Clayton Parkway and posed as cocaine buyers to catch the men in a drug deal, Texas police said.

Texas officers seized 1,000 grams of compressed cocaine valued at $15,000 and the vehicle the drug deal was made in.

Raul Gonzalez, Jose Villareal and Armando Lopez, all of Houston, Texas were arrested on delivery of a controlled substance charges.

Gonzalez was denied bond while Villareal's bond is set at $200,000, and Lopez's bond is set at $400,000. All three men are scheduled to appear in Texas court next month.
