17 Busted in Flower Mound Heroin Conspiracy
Tuesday, 17 May 2011

FLOWER MOUND, Texas - A federal grand jury indicted 17 people for their role in distributing heroin in the Flower Mound area. Their drug dealings led to several overdose deaths, police said.
Flower Mound police, along with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, began investigating the case in 2010 following the deaths of three teenagers who overdosed on the heroin.
Police said 19-year-old Joseph Hoffman of Flower Mound pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute heroin. He faces up to 40 years in prison for his role in the crime which led to the death of an individual.
Hoffman has been in trouble with the law before. In 2009 he was involved in a fatal crash on Morriss Road and was charged with criminally negligent homicide after he failed a sobriety test. A Denton County grand jury failed to indict him in that case because of lack of evidence, but police told the Plano Star-Courier it did help lead them in his direction for this current case.
The investigation has also led to the arrest of 12 people who allegedly conspired to distribute more than 100 grams of heroin in the city. If convicted, they each face up to 40 years in prison.
They include Sarah Hutcheson, 18, of Highland Village; Nicholas A. Parker-Vanalstyne, 20, of Flower Mound; Csaba Zoltan Bazsa, 19, of Lewisville; Kevin Lee Oates, 38, of Irving; Brendan Michael Jackson, 19, of Flower Mound; Cody Ray Jones, 20, of Highland Village; Jacob Andrew Haley, 20, of Corinth; Matthew Curtis Anderson, 21, of Lewisville; Anthony Edward Cathlina, 20, of Flower Mound; Taylor Nicole Lane, 19, of Grapevine; Travis Ryan Neel, 20, of Flower Mound and Alexandre David Ward, 20, of Flower Mound.
Also, Scott Schmalholz, 21 of Flower Mound, pleaded guilty to transferring a firearm to Hoffman knowing it would be used during a drug trafficking crime. He faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
Finally, 20-year-old Adam Michael Evans of Flower Mound and 23-year-old Travis Clark Tucker of Denton face weapons charges and 23-year-old James Riley Greenwood of Flower Mound faces charges for making false statements to federal agents.
Police said although most of the suspects are young adults, there is no indication that the drug deals took place at any school.
Captain Wess Griffin said he feel good about the number of arrests, but it won't completely stop the sale or use of heroin in Flower Mound.
"As long as there's a demand there's always going to be a supply. But I think that we've severely put a dent in the supply in this area at least for the time being," he said.

These charges are a fucking travesty.
Dope brings dope money and dope problems. The problems usually aren't worth the money unless you're very sophisticated, clean, and well-informed of the culture.
Even then it's extremely risky and IMO never worth it. I don't even like money that much lol.
