NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, Texas – Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office deputies intercepted more than 10 lbs of cocaine being transported on Nacogdoches County roadways in two recent separate traffic stops, resulting in felony charges for three
Michigan residents. Around 8:50 p.m. Monday, NCSO deputies pulled over Desean Hyken Lee Williams, 33, of Flint, Michigan, for traffic violations observed in the 1700 block of S.W. Stallings Drive, and noticed the smell of marijuana. When asked about it,
Williams told deputies he’d smoked earlier and that there might be marijuana inside the vehicle. Deputies began a probable-cause search of the car, and found two plastic-wrapped bundles of powder, which tested positive for cocaine. Williams was taken into custody and charged with a first-degree felony for possession of a controlled substance. The combined weight of the packages was 5.2 lbs.
His bond was set at $50,000. Early Tuesday morning, deputies made a traffic stop in the 1700 block of S.W. Stallings Drive for a traffic violation, where they
contacted Quinntez Maurice Banks, 33, of Clinton, Michigan, and Sasithorn Boohom, 25, of Brighton, Michigan. During a probable-cause search of the vehicle, deputies located two packages of narcotics which tested positive as cocaine, as well as a large amount of U.S. currency. The combined weight of the packages was 4.7 lbs. Banks and Boohom were taken into custody and both charged with first-degree felonies for possession of a controlled substance. Banks and Boohom remained in custody as of Wednesday afternoon. Banks’ bond was set at $50,000 and Boohom’s was set
at $40,000. Williams posted bond, which a judge had set at $50,000, and was released Tuesday afternoon.
