A trio of Odessans were arrested on drug charges Monday with the help of a confidential informant.
According to an Ector County Sheriff’s Office report, investigators used the confidential informant to set up an appointment to purchase some methamphetamine from Jaime Marquez, 36, at 46th Street and Andrews Highway.
Marquez told the C.I. he’d be in a black Yukon and Marquez was seen traveling on Andrews Highway in a black Yukon, the report stated.
According to the report, when the driver of the Yukon, Kara Williams, 39, failed to use her turn signal at 45th Street and Andrews Highway, a lieutenant activated his lights to pull her over, but she continued to drive for three city blocks until she was forced to stop.
Marquez had one gram of meth in one of his pockets, Williams had methamphetamine in her vagina and the front seat passenger, Brian Hairston, dropped a container of fentanyl as he was getting out of the Yukon, the report stated.
Hairston was arrested on suspicion of a controlled substance, a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison. He remained in the Ector County jail Tuesday on a $50,000 surety bond and a DWI warrant from El Paso County.
Marquez was arrested on suspicion of a state jail felony – possession of a controlled substance. He, too, remained in custody Tuesday on a $10,000 surety bond.
Williams remained in the Ector County jail Tuesday on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, a second-degree felony. Her bond was set at $30,000.
