A Nacogdoches man was arrested after an ongoing investigation into the distribution of methamphetamine in Nacogdoches County. Over the course of the last several months, deputies with the Sheriff’s Office have made several arrests involving possession cases of methamphetamine. Investigators with the Sheriff’s Office were able to identify a distributor of the narcotic, who was identified as Jacob Miller.

Over a period of several months, the Sheriff’s Office was able to identify that the suspect was dealing large amounts of methamphetamine. Investigators were able to identify that the suspect was receiving his narcotics through a supplier out of California and was using the mail to ship the narcotics to Nacogdoches County.

Sheriff Investigators notified a United States Postal Inspector and requested assistance with the investigation. On Monday, May 17, 2021 a suspicious package was intercepted by the postal inspector that was destined to the target of this investigation.

The package was removed from the mail, and a certified K-9 police dog conducted a free air search of the package which alerted to the presence of narcotics. A search warrant was obtained for the package which revealed 15 ounces of crystal methamphetamine.
