In a recent announcement by the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office on their social media page, Demarcus Cummings, 37, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. The Tarrant County District Attorney's Office posted, “Thanks to the FWPD and its Narcotics Section for their work on this case and for keeping our community safe.”
Cummings' apprehension followed a search warrant operation on February 13, uncovering fentanyl pills, cocaine, and two loaded firearms in a motel room registered to him. While the substance abuse and illegal arms possession charges are severe on their own merits, the court's decision was further influenced by Cummings' prior convictions, which include unlawful possession of a firearm and assault family violence.
The Tarrant County District Attorney's Facebook post also detailed the specifics of the contraband found at the scene, highlighting the narcotic officers' role in the investigation that led to the subsequent prosecution by the Narcotics Unit.
