Williamson County deputies say a July 6 search at a Cedar Park apartment complex turned up what looks a lot less like personal use and a lot more like a full-scale operation. Serving a warrant at the Bexley at Lakeline community, the Organized Crime Unit arrested three people and reported finding more than 50 pounds of marijuana, nearly 1,200 grams of alprazolam pills, psilocybin mushrooms, a haul of THC products and close to $45,000 in cash. Two suspects were later released on bond, and a third walked free after a possession charge was listed as dismissed or declined in jail records.
What deputies found
According to FOX 7 Austin, the warrant yielded 50.56 pounds of marijuana; 1,208.4 grams of alprazolam (about 4,771 pills); roughly 1.2 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms; 772 grams of THC vape products (385 cartridges); 25 ounces of THC wax; and 10.4 grams of cocaine. Investigators also seized nine handguns, three AR-15-style rifles, an AK-style Draco pistol, a Mossberg shotgun, a digital scale and multiple cellphones, and they reported recovering about $45,000 in cash. Deputies say packaging materials and phones at the scene backed up their suspicion that the stash was tied to distribution, not just personal use.
Who was arrested and what they face
As reported by KVUE, the three people arrested were 19-year-old Sergio Madrigal of Leander, 20-year-old Jessica Carrese of Cedar Park, and 20-year-old Angel Rosas. Madrigal and Carrese are listed on multiple manufacture-or-delivery counts across several penalty groups, including allegations tied to cocaine, psilocybin, alprazolam, and THC wax, plus a marijuana possession count involving large weights. Rosas was booked on a possession charge connected to THC vapes; that count was later marked dismissed or declined. Jail records show Madrigal and Carrese were booked July 7 and later posted bond, while Rosas was booked and released the same day.
Investigation and community tips
The sheriff’s office says the case started back in January with a tip to Crime Stoppers and eventually led the Organized Crime Unit to the July 6 warrant, FOX 7 Austin reports. Authorities are encouraging anyone with information about trafficking activity to contact the Williamson County Organized Crime Unit tipline or Crime Stoppers. No additional arrests were announced immediately after the raid, and investigators are still digging through seized phones and packaging for more leads.
What the charges could mean
Several of the listed counts, including large-scale marijuana possession and manufacture or delivery involving multiple penalty groups, qualify as felonies under Texas law and can mean years in prison under the Texas Health and Safety Code. For example, possession or delivery of more than 50 pounds but less than 2,000 pounds of marijuana is generally treated as a second-degree felony under state statute. Prosecutors have not finalized charges on every count noted in jail records, and local officials say the investigation is still active; bond and booking details were reported by KVUE.
