DALLAS - A Dallas Police Department narcotics investigation has led to the arrest of three people and the seizure of multiple firearms, drugs, and cash.

Dallas Narcotics Investigation

The operation began in September 2024, when Dallas police detectives began investigating a location in the 4900 block of East Side Avenue. The investigation led to a search warrant being executed there. Investigators discovered narcotics and evidence for additional investigations, police said.

In March 2025, detectives connected the East Side Avenue investigation to two other locations — the 4900 block of Terry Street and the 8500 block of Park Lane — which were suspected of being used to store and sell narcotics.

Officers executed a search warrant at the Terry Street location, where they found multiple firearms, drugs packaged for distribution, and other evidence of illegal drug paraphernalia.

A second search warrant at the Park Lane location resulted in the confiscation of various narcotics packaged for distribution and a handgun.

• Christopher Springfield, 32, faces four counts of first-degree felony manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance and one count of second-degree felony manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance.
• Saray Portillo, 31, was charged with tampering with or fabricating evidence, a third-degree felony.
• Jamie Solorzano, 40, faces two counts of manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance, a third-degree felony.
