POINT BLANK — In late June 2026, investigators assigned to the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office Operation Lone Star Task Force received information regarding the suspected distribution of narcotics in the Point Blank area.
Through continued investigation, OLS Task Force investigators identified a location believed to be involved in the distribution of illegal narcotics. Investigators then began working in coordination with the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force to further develop intelligence, gather evidence, and establish probable cause regarding suspected narcotics activity and the anticipated movement of illegal drugs into and throughout the area.
According to reports, as the investigation progressed, investigators developed sufficient probable cause, and members of the OLS Task Force prepared and obtained a search warrant for the location.
During the early morning hours of July 4, members of the OLS Task Force and San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division, working alongside the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team, executed a search warrant, reports indicate.
This resulted in the discovery and seizure of multiple types of suspected illegal narcotics and controlled substances, including fentanyl, crack cocaine, cocaine, methamphetamine, Xanax, oxycodone, Adderall, suspected psychedelic mushrooms, and marijuana.
Investigators also located multiple firearms at the scene, including three handguns, two shotguns, and an AR-15-style rifle, the report states.
As a result of the investigation and search warrant, Marquice Boyd, 29, of Houston, and Chadrick Rodgers, 38, of Point Blank, were arrested and charged with multiple counts of manufacture and delivery of controlled substances and offenses involving controlled substances and dangerous drugs. boyd also faces an additional felony weapons charge.
Sheriff Sam Houston commended the investigators and tactical personnel involved in the operation and emphasized the importance of cooperation between neighboring law enforcement agencies.
“The amount and variety of narcotics recovered during this investigation demonstrate exactly why these task force operations are so important,” Houston said. “This seizure will put a dent in this activity, but we know the work does not stop here. Those who choose to bring fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and other dangerous drugs into San Jacinto County should understand that our investigators are actively working to identify them, build cases, and hold them accountable.”
Houston also expressed his appreciation to Liberty County Sheriff Bobby Rader for allowing members of the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force and Special Response Team to assist with the investigation and execution of the warrant.
“Criminal activity does not stop at a county line, and neither should cooperation between law enforcement agencies,” he said. “I appreciate Sheriff Bobby Rader and the men and women of the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance and professionalism throughout this investigation. When agencies work together, we are able to combine resources, intelligence, and experience to better protect the communities we serve.”
Houston also emphasized that law enforcement cannot address the flow of illegal narcotics alone and that information from the community often plays a critical role in identifying suspected criminal activity.
“We need the help of our community. Our investigators cannot be everywhere, and the people who live and work in our communities often see things that law enforcement may not immediately know about,” he said. “If you know about illegal narcotics activity or other criminal activity, we ask you to provide that information. One tip can be the starting point that allows investigators to build a case and take dangerous drugs off our streets.”
