Titus County Sheriff’s Office became aware of an individual advertising the sale of narcotics through the social media app Snapchat. On Tuesday, September 5, narcotics investigators contacted the suspected person through Snapchat, and they placed a purchase for drugs. The suspect was Garrett Lee Phillips, age 25. A successful acquisition of narcotics from Phillips led to his arrest for Delivery of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 2A.

Investigators then executed a Search Warrant at Phillips’s residence on Titus County Road 4840. During the execution of the Search Warrant, they determined Sandy Padilla, age 27, resided at the home. A search of the residence revealed approximately nine pounds of suspected marihuana, nine jars of THC Wax, and 96 THC Vape Cartridges. At this time, they placed Padilla under arrest for Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 2 and Felony Possession of Marihuana.

As a result of the Search Warrant, they also charged Phillips with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 2 and Felony Possession of Marihuana. Both were placed in Titus County Jail and are awaiting arraignment.
