“We continue to be very proactive with our narcotics investigations and anticipate many more posts like this. Yes, we post pictures of those who deal drugs,” Kilgore PD said. “For others who think they are smarter than us, moving outside the city but still dealing your poison to our residents will still get you arrested. See you soon.”

Kilgore PD said narcotics investigators, KPD P.A.C.E. officers and the Gregg County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the search.
