Alleged drug dealer arrested by DEA Drug Task Force
A Dallas, Texas, man was arrested this afternoon in the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel restaurant for allegedly delivering drugs that were to be sold in the Louisiana region.
The DEA Drug Task Force and the Louisiana State Police arrested 27-year-old Eliseo Lopez on two counts of possession of Schedule II with intent to distribute. Officers serving on the task force include members of the Shreveport Police Department and the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Agents seized 333 grams of methamphetamine, with a street value of about $40,000, and 125 grams of powder cocaine, with a street value of about $12,500.
The arrest capped a month-long investigation into Lopez. He will be booked into the Caddo Correctional Center.
