4 arrested in Brazoria drug bust

BRAZORIA — Police raided a home Friday outside Brazoria they believe had narcotics, but they also found a man wanted on an aggravated assault charge.

Brazoria County Sheriff’s narcotics officers executed a search warrant at about 5 a.m. Friday at the home in the 20000 block of Highway 36, Lt. Christopher Reioux said.

“We received information that there might be narcotics there,” he said.

About 3 grams of crack cocaine and a small amount of marijuana were found inside the home, narcotics officers said. The cocaine has about a $500 street value, they said.

Police arrested four people inside the home on various charges. Among them was John Allen, 36, of Angleton, who was wanted on an aggravated assault indictment issued by a grand jury this month.

“They have been looking for him for a long time,” Reioux said.

Allen is accused of threatening a woman and pointing a handgun at her Oct. 21, court documents state.

Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is a

second-degree felony, and a conviction can carry up to 20 years in prison.

Allen and the three others at the home were arrested without incident. The home’s owner and a 37-year-old woman were charged with a misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Another man, Roderick Caldwell, 26, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a third-degree felony that can carry up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Allen was at the Brazoria County Detention Center late Friday on $55,500 bond. Caldwell and the other two arrested also were at the detention center, but bond amounts were not available Friday.
