Always check your hot apple pies from Whataburger. Jesse did not.
MALE ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF NARCOTICS
On Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at approximately 8:42 AM, Precinct 8 Deputy Brinkley with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office was conducting narcotic interdiction and observed a 2009 black Ford Flex traveling in the 1000 block of Edgebrook Dr. A check of the vehicle’s temporary permit returned to a blue 2020 Toyota 4 Runner. Deputy Brinkley activated his emergency equipment and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle failed to yield and ultimately pulled into a residence in the 2500 block of Rodney St. The driver was identified as 27 year old Jesse Abraham Silva. Silva stated this was his relative’s residence, and he was bringing a Whataburger order for them.
A check of Silva’s information revealed several prior arrest for possession of a controlled substance. Deputy Brinkley directed Silva step out of the vehicle to conduct a consent based search of the vehicle. During the course of the investigation, Silva’s relative came out of the residence and was standing in the driveway. Silva asked Deputy Brinkley if he could hand over the Whataburger order to his relative before it got cold. Deputy Brinkley opened the bag and recovered .80 grams of methamphetamine and .56 grams of Xanax hidden with the food.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted felony Possession of a Controlled Substance for the methamphetamine. Silva was transported the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bond was set at $1,500.
