Speeding leads to cocaine, meth bust in Dallas
The backstory:
The incident began when an undercover officer assisting the Street Racing Task Force observed a gold 2007 GMC Yukon traveling at a high rate of speed near the 11300 block of Garland Road. Uniformed officers were alerted and initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle in the 11300 block of McCree Road.
Upon stopping the vehicle, a subject check on the passenger, Jesus Jonathon Garza, revealed an active warrant for a parole violation related to burglary of a habitation. Garza was arrested for the outstanding warrant and was found to be in possession of cocaine during a search. He is being held on a Texas Department of Corrections hold, and a bond has not been set.

The driver, Moises Perez Jr., was unable to provide valid car insurance, leading officers to impound the vehicle due to the expired registration.
During an inventory search of the Yukon, officers discovered a large cache of narcotics:
