Funny thing is
I bet if they released him with no explanation and gave him his lab back i bet he'd still have a loyal customer base.

What, you don't cook your tren in a spoon and give it the old cotton swab filtration?
Just going to throw out that while it may or may not have happened, with the list of charges if the cops found any evidence of him firing a gun inside his house I would highly suspect there would be a reckless or similar charge there and mention of bullet holes, everyone found safe, yada yada in the article (make it look as bad as possible). The only reason it's mentioned and then elaborated on is justification for the search. Doesn't read like they expected to find bodies or anyone injured. Like others said...maybe the locals didn't want him around or dealing anymore. Whether this gets tossed or not mission accomplished and they know that.

That's still better than Broward County Sheriffs. ;-)
Spoon tren is the best tren.

This dude had a pill press (from what I saw). These will be federal charges. Ain't none of that "getting dropped". Feds got his ass.
Expecially shipping product via USPS. That's a federal felony right there.
This guy is g.o.n.e.

He says, without knowing what charges are being brought forward, what evidence is present, what agenda the DA may wish to pursue, what bargaining may be done, or what the accused’s budget for defends may be.
What else ya got in yer crystal ball there? Maybe you can tell me my horoscope too
He did NOT have a pill press you looking at the wrong story. Get your shit straight.
TGI used caps. 0/1, Sherlock.
A neighbor (Ricky Watson) publicly admitting calling the police and reporting "shots fired":
The two charges that left me scratching my head were:
PUBLIC INTOXICATION and UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER
Both of these seem to necessarily require behavior occurring on public property.
How could this occur on private property?
Maybe Sammie Vail met officers on the (public) street at the end of his driveway?
The gun charge is an automatic if the person is intoxicated with a concealed or nonconcealed gun:
PENAL CODE CHAPTER 46. WEAPONS
(d) A license holder commits an offense if, while intoxicated, the license holder carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed or carried in a shoulder or belt holster.
There were at least two other people inside the house that were questioned by police.
The police did obtain a search warrant when they realized they stumbled upon a significant drug manufacturing operation. (Search warrant #41-14259F issued by Harrison County Justice of Peace Nancy George).
The search warrant gave local and federal officers (DEA) the authority to search and seize the drug lab.
Of course, the "plain view" discovery of the clandestine lab was only made possible by the warrantless search under claims of exigent circumstances.
Are the facts that a neighbor called 911 and reported shots fired and the presence of two people inside sufficient to establish exigent circumstances?
Did the behavior of the intoxicated suspects to resist and prevent officers from entering the property contributed to exigent circumstances?
I’m sure LE had enough interest to get inside the house prior to this occurrence. The shots fired, whether they were inside or outside the house, was a green light to get a peek into Vail’s life. The fact he was intoxicated did not help his case obviously, but Let’s not kid ourselves here and pretend LE plays by the rules for a second, especially the damn feds. Fibbing, manipulating, and doing whatever they have to do to get the edge is part of their motto. Now they will attempt to manipulate vail to go after whoever was supplying him and so on....
I think @bolder said it best, if anything let this be a wake up call especially to the newer folks that you can never get comfortable and complacent. Get in the habit of sterilizing yourself every couple days, weeks, months or whatever.

Unless they find records, physical or electronic, at his house, on his computers or mobile devices.
I believe TGI stated that he ordered all raw order via a domestic remailer/supplier. That person probably has not slept well this week.
At least the Harrison County Sheriff's Office was nice enough to give him the heads up as soon as they arrested TGI. Police generally don't tip someone off before they start investigating them. Not sure what the DEA will do with the information.

The public intoxication statute in TX is
"A person commits an offense if the person appears in a public place while intoxicated to the degree that the person may endanger the person or another."
Then "public place" is defined as "any place to which the public or a substantial group of the public has access and includes, but is not limited to, streets, highways, and the common areas of schools, hospitals, apartment houses, office buildings, transport facilities, and shops."
Private property is still a public place under their statute and that includes outside your house. As I've seen explained repeatedly, public place is basically anyplace except inside your house. Being intoxicated on your property is not sufficient though. The other part of the statute "endanger the person or another" is what likely cinched it as LE was met with resistance.

I think that was definitely a slip up between HC and the dea. They were probably so excited they didn’t realize they would be possibly impeding a further investigation effort.

I think the month old video and this bust involve the same guy and this was just to get peeps to believe they happened upon this lab when in reality theyve known about and been investigating for a long time already.

Yeah I believe that as well. They've known for awhile now what he was up to. The question is how did they know, and for how long???
