GLENN HEIGHTS – Glenn Heights Police arrested 20-year-old Jose Paz this past weekend, Jan. 21, 2023, at approximately 1:52 a.m. Paz was arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance-penalty group 2 and unlawful carrying of a weapon.
Paz was stopped by Glenn Heights Police in the 900 block of E. Bear Creek Road for failure to stop at a stop sign.
When officers made contact with Paz, they immediately detected the odor of marijuana from inside the suspect’s four-door black Kia.
During a search of the vehicle, Glenn Heights Police located 23 crooked kitchen cannabis edibles, 38 THC vape pens, 25 Good Trip mushroom infused elixirs, 2 scales, 3.8 oz. of marijuana and $1,524 in currency.
Paz was also in possession of a firearm.
Possession of a controlled substance-penalty group 2 is a second-degree felony, and unlawful carrying of a weapon is a Class A misdemeanor.
