Deputies with Harris County Precinct 2 Constable Jerry Garcia’s office arrested three people in the 8300 block of Park Place after a three-month narcotics investigation that started with numerous anonymous tips about drug sales. The warrant was executed Aug. 7, and deputies seized cocaine, methamphetamine and firearms from the block.

Officials identified one of the arrested people as 23-year-old Talyaah Collins, who was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. Another suspect, Jacoltey Gilliam, 38, was arrested on two outstanding felony warrants, one for family assault involving impeding breath and another for felon in possession of a firearm.

The Harris County Precinct 2 Special Operations Unit led the operation with help from the Patrol Division and the U.S. Marshals Service. The unit specializes in narcotics enforcement and other proactive crime-response duties within the constable’s office.

The case is the latest block-level enforcement action in an area that drew repeated complaints about suspected narcotics activity. For people living and driving along Park Place, the most immediate change is the removal of drugs and guns from the 8300 block after deputies spent months building the warrant case.
