Two Arkansas Residents Arrested in Texas for Assault and Drug Possession

May 14, 2025 – Texas

Two individuals from Arkansas were taken into custody this week on multiple charges, including assault and possession of a controlled substance, according to local authorities.

The arrests stemmed from an incident that occurred in Texas, where law enforcement officers responded to reports of an altercation. Upon investigation, officers detained the two suspects, whose names have not yet been released. They were charged with assault and with possession of a controlled substance listed under Penalty Group 1.

Officials confirmed that the quantity of the substance in question was more than one gram but less than four grams — an amount that elevates the charge to a state jail felony under Texas law.

Penalty Group 1 includes some of the most strictly regulated drugs in the state, such as methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin. Possession of these substances, even in small amounts, carries significant legal consequences, including potential jail time and fines.

Both suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues. Authorities have not released further details on the nature of the assault or the specific substance involved.

The case will be turned over to the local district attorney’s office for prosecution. No court date has been set at this time.

Law enforcement encourages anyone with information related to the incident to contact local authorities.
