Commerce Narcotics Bust Leads to Multiple Arrests and Drug Seizures

COMMERCE, TX – A coordinated investigation by the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office, Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office, and the Commerce Police Department has led to the arrest of three individuals and the seizure of a significant quantity of illegal narcotics in the Commerce area.

The investigation began in January 2025 after authorities received reports of methamphetamine being distributed from a residence on Washington Street. On March 26, a search warrant was executed at the property, resulting in the arrest of Mary Dean, 73. Officers discovered approximately 130 grams of methamphetamine and 5 grams of cocaine during the search.

Additional suspects, identified as Antonio Davis (29), also known as “Dusty,” and Brooklyn Barton (22), were allegedly involved in distributing multiple controlled substances including methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana.

Investigators tracked Davis and Barton as they reportedly traveled to South Dallas to acquire additional narcotics. A traffic stop conducted near their residence in the 130 block of Highway 224 led to the discovery of approximately 300 grams of methamphetamine and crack cocaine. Both suspects were arrested at the scene.

A subsequent search warrant executed at the same residence uncovered further narcotics, a firearm, and ammunition. All suspects face multiple felony charges related to manufacturing and delivering controlled substances.

The investigation remains active as authorities continue to pursue leads related to this case.
