Spring, Texas – A large-scale narcotics investigation spanning multiple counties culminated in a major drug seizure and the arrest of a 36-year-old man after authorities executed search warrants at an apartment complex across the street from Klein High School, raising serious concerns about public safety near a school campus.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that a wide range of illegal drugs, firearms, and cash were recovered during the operation, which involved cooperation between several local and federal agencies.
Multi-Agency Task Force Executes Search Warrants
According to officials, the operation took place on December 10, when investigators executed two search warrants as part of an ongoing narcotics trafficking investigation.
Agencies involved in the operation included the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Authorities said the investigation initially focused on drug trafficking activity in Montgomery County, but evidence eventually led them to a primary dealer operating out of Harris County.
Suspect Identified and Charged
The suspect was identified as Zachary Disorbo, 36, who investigators believe played a central role in the distribution of large quantities of illegal narcotics.
“This investigation involved drug trafficking in Montgomery County and led to a primary dealer located in Harris County,” the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office stated. “Zachary Disorbo has been charged with multiple counts of Felony Manufacture and Delivery of Narcotics in Harris County.”
Disorbo was taken into custody following the execution of the warrants and now faces multiple felony charges related to narcotics manufacturing and distribution.
Home Search Reveals Large-Scale Drug Operation
One of the search warrants was executed at Disorbo’s residence, where investigators say they uncovered and dismantled a large-scale narcotics operation.
Authorities did not specify how long the operation had been active but indicated that the volume and variety of drugs found suggested an extensive distribution network.
Investigators believe the operation supplied narcotics to multiple areas across Southeast Texas.
Apartment Near Klein High School Used as Stash House
The second search warrant was executed at an apartment located directly across from Klein High School in Spring, a discovery that alarmed both law enforcement and the surrounding community.
Inside the apartment, authorities found a massive quantity of illegal drugs. Investigators say Disorbo was using the location as a “stash house” to store and distribute narcotics.
Officials emphasized that while no students were involved, the proximity of the stash house to a high school campus significantly heightened safety concerns.
Massive Drug Seizure Detailed
Law enforcement released a detailed list of items seized during the operation, highlighting the scale of the alleged drug trafficking activity:
- Methamphetamine-laced Adderall – 18.5 kilograms (approximately 50,000 pills)
- Xanax – 10.8 kilograms (approximately 42,200 pills)
- THC – 107 pounds
- Marijuana – 93 pounds
- Promethazine with Codeine – 1,532 ounces
- Psilocybin (mushrooms) – 1.9 kilograms
- Ketamine – 838 grams
- Cocaine – 568 grams
- Cash – $11,500
- Firearms – 3 weapons
Authorities described the seizure as one of the more significant drug busts in the area in recent months.
Officials Stress Community Safety
“This operation successfully removed a substantial amount of dangerous illegal narcotics from the community,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Officials emphasized that drugs such as fentanyl-laced pills, methamphetamine, and codeine-based substances pose a serious risk, particularly when distributed near schools and residential neighborhoods.
Law enforcement leaders credited inter-agency cooperation for the success of the operation and said the investigation demonstrates their commitment to disrupting large-scale drug distribution networks.
Investigation Still Ongoing
Authorities confirmed that the case remains active and ongoing, and additional arrests or charges could be possible as investigators continue analyzing evidence and tracing distribution channels.
Residents are encouraged to report suspicious activity and to remain vigilant, especially in areas near schools and youth-centered facilities.
