Man Caught With Various Drugs, Stolen Guns, Cash: Police

DALLAS, TX — Two Dallas police officers working an overnight shift on March 10 arrested a man accused of carrying some 80 grams of drugs, stolen guns and a large sum of cash.

According to a statement from police, two officers were driving in the 10000 block of Whitehurst Drive when they saw a Chevrolet Tahoe with a paper dealer tag.

The officers ran a search on the tag and found it was not registered to the car, so pulled over the driver, 22-year-old Di-Jon Roberts, and saw marijuana in plain view, police said.

They asked Roberts to get out and went on to search the car. What they found was, according to the statement, 30.1 grams of marijuana, 9.4 grams of crack cocaine, 17 grams of Alprazolam, 21.6 grams of suspected ecstasy and 2.6 grams of suspected fentanyl.

In addition to the drugs, the officers found $1,697 in cash, two stolen handguns, two digital scales and other drug paraphernalia, the statement said.

Roberts was arrested and remains in jail on charges of possession of drugs, unlicensed possession of a firearm and a probation violation. His bail is set at $106,000.
