Through the work of several agencies, a SUV driven by Matthew Fallis, 41, of Waxahachie, was stopped late Wednesday morning. They searched the vehicle after a sheriff&#8217;s office K-9 alerted them to drugs. They found 1. 5 pounds of crystal methamphetamine, 3 ounces of black tar heroin and two loaded 9 MM pistols. They also seized over $7,000 they found in the vehicle. Investigators say Fallis has direct connections to a Mexican cartel gang that was moving large amounts of Methamphetamine from Dallas to Nacogdoches, and other areas, on  a weekly basis. Fallis and a passenger, Mary King, 37, of Dallas, have been charged with two counts of delivery of a controlled substance. Fallis, who is on parole, was also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NACOGDOCHES &#8211; Nacogdoches County authorities have arrested a man said to be a large drug distributor with ties to the Mexican cartel.
