DALLAS – Warrants for more than 90 people in North Texas were issued Wednesday as part of a nationwide roundup led by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
The multi-agency raid started before sunrise. Sources told FOX 4 many of the suspects had ties to a Mexican drug gang.
Joy Cisco lives down the street from where one person was arrested. She said flash bangs thrown into the home were so loud they woke her family up.
“It was right before my alarm, between 6:30 and 6:45 a.m. It was very loud. It set off the car alarms,” she said. “They had a SWAT truck in front, the house surround and drug sniffing dogs around vehicles over here.”
FOX 4 learned that an Allen police officer fired shots inside the home, but no one was hurt.
Cisco hopes the raid prompts others to join their neighborhood watch group. She said it is the only way to keep the streets quiet.
“It’s okay to be nosey and be aware of who you are living next to,” she said.
The DEA is expected to release more details about the raid during a press conference Thursday.
