Deputies say a Spring-area apartment across from Klein High School was doubling as a full-blown trap house, with nearly 300 pounds of illegal drugs stashed inside. The investigation ended Wednesday with the arrest of 36-year-old Zachary Disorbo, who was booked into the Harris County Jail on multiple counts of possession with intent to deliver, according to court records. The bust capped a narcotics probe that led investigators to both the apartment and a separate residence tied to Disorbo.
Who Led The Raid
The operation pulled in both local and federal firepower. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with the DEA’s Houston field division and deputies from Constable Mark Herman’s Special Operations Unit to serve search warrants at the apartment across from Klein High and at a home linked to the suspect, according to Click2Houston. Investigators first stopped a vehicle leaving the apartment, then later arrested Disorbo after finding meth on him, the outlet reported. Authorities said the investigation stretched across county lines as they traced the alleged distribution activity.
What Deputies Found
Inside the apartment, deputies say they uncovered a stockpile that looked more like a small warehouse than a home. The haul included about 18.5 kilograms of methamphetamine pills, estimated at roughly 50,000 pills, more than 93 pounds of marijuana, 86.5 pounds of THC wax and 21 pounds of THC gummies. Thousands of pressed pills, including Xanax, along with sizable quantities of MDMA, ketamine and cocaine were also logged into evidence. Investigators additionally seized around 1,536 ounces of promethazine syrup, three loaded firearms and a large amount of cash, according to reporting by Univision 45 Houston. Court documents cited by local media describe the apartment as a storage and packaging hub for street-level distribution.
Charges And Next Steps
Court records show Disorbo faces two counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, along with a separate marijuana possession charge. His bond was set at $1.1 million, as reported by FOX 26 Houston. He remained in the Harris County Jail and was expected to appear in court later this week. Prosecutors and investigators said the probe is still active as they work to identify any potential co-conspirators and map out the supply chain behind the stash.
Why It Matters
Law enforcement officials have warned about a shift in the drug market, where pressed or counterfeit pills are being sold as legitimate medications like Adderall but may contain meth or other dangerous substances. This trend increases the risk of overdoses and other public health issues, particularly for people who believe they are taking standard prescription pills. Making meth into pill form also makes it easier to transport and harder for casual users to identify, complicating enforcement and harm-reduction efforts. The DEA has issued warnings about the rise in these types of pills, as noted by ABC13.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the alleged distribution network to contact detectives with Montgomery County or Harris County Precinct 4. Both agencies say the investigation is ongoing and that more details could surface as additional cases are filed. Local coverage has indicated that deputies plan to keep chasing leads to determine whether the seized stash was tied to a broader trafficking pipeline in the Houston area, as mentioned by Click2Houston.
