Two Brenham residents face drug charges after authorities discovered a large amount of narcotics during a search operation this (Tuesday) morning.

The Brenham Police Department reports that around 6 a.m., the Brenham Police Crime Reduction Unit and Emergency Response Team, in cooperation with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team, executed a narcotics-related search warrant at a residence in the 2900 block of FM 2935 in Brenham.  Police say the warrant originated from an ongoing narcotics investigation conducted by the Crime Reduction Unit.

While executing the warrant, police located 28-year-old Chandler Horak and 30-year-old Charles Smith inside the residence.  Investigators also reportedly found a “significant quantity of illegal narcotics”, which included marijuana, alprazolam and highly potent synthetic THC products.

Horak and Smith were arrested and taken to the Washington County Jail on charges of Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 2, 4-400 Grams; Possession of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 3, Less Than 28 Grams; and Possession of Marijuana 4oz. – 5lbs.  Horak was also arrested on an active warrant for Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 2, 4-400 Grams, which police say was issued earlier in the investigation, prior to the operation.

Assisting Brenham police in the operation were the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Washington County EMS, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Wardens.
