Bryan Police Arrest Eight in Major Drug Trade Operation

Bryan Police Crack Down on Local Drug Trade

BRYAN – In a major operation that unfolded between August and November, authorities have responded to rising neighborhood complaints about drug sales in Bryan. The police deployed undercover officers to make drug purchases and monitor illegal sales that had taken over various parts of the community. The recent reports, released last weekend, reveal the fallout of this initiative, resulting in the arrest of *six men and two women*, all tied to the local drug trade.

Key Arrests Made

The Bryan Police Department (BPD) noted that undercover officers managed to buy cocaine, crack cocaine, and even observed illegal sales of hydrocodone and PCP from six street-level dealers at different locations. One of the surprising entries was 75-year-old Curtis James Hall, who has been charged with multiple counts of *manufacturing and delivering a controlled substance*. These incidents, with allegations dating back to July 2022, mark Hall’s 27th time in jail since January 1990! He has since been released after posting bonds totaling *$137,000*.

Another individual, 51-year-old Christopher Leon Hill, was charged with delivering a controlled substance and remains in custody with bonds set at *$55,000*. Hill has seen the inside of Brazos County jail *65 times* since 2001, making him a familiar face for the local authorities.

In addition, *37-year-old Quentin McMiller* and *26-year-old Preston Wiggins IV* were also arrested on similar drug charges. Wiggins, who found himself behind bars for the 20th time since 2016, is currently facing bonds of *$75,000* while McMiller’s bond stands at *$15,000*.

More Trouble for Local Dealers

A handful of others have also been ensnared in this crackdown. For instance, *46-year-old Rolando Taylor* was apprehended after being linked to an undercover sale of crack cocaine in August and is facing *$55,000* in bonds while *56-year-old Twanda Mosley* remains behind bars facing *$40,000* in bonds due to multiple drug charges linked to incidents this past August and September.

Lastly, a 28-year-old woman named Anteria Jackson was charged with evidence tampering alongside possession, having been jailed 14 times since February 2014. Her bond is currently set at *$48,000*.
