Texarkana man found guilty of federal drug trafficking

BOWIE COUNTY, Texas (KETK) – A Texarkana man was found guilty last week of federal drug trafficking after 3600 illegal pills were discovered inside his home. According to officials, Deablo Deshown Lewis, was arrested in Texarkana, Ark. on April 1, 2021 after he was caught agreeing to sell 150 counterfeit OxyContin 'M-30' pills to another person. Following his arrest, Lewis admitted to having marijuana inside his home, which led to a search warrant being issued. Tyler police investigate death of 28-year-old woman During the search of Lewis's home, officers were able to locate over 2,800 counterfeit 'M-30' pills containing fentanyl, over 700 'ecstasy' pills containing methamphetamine along with over 180 counterfeit Xanax pills, according to officials. Two loaded firearms were also recovered from Lewis' home during the investigation. After posting bond, Lewis was arrested once again in February 2022, after officers stopped a vehicle that they suspected was doing a drug deal, a press release said. The driver then admitted he had purchased counterfeit 'M-30' pills from Lewis. Following a three-day trial, Lewis was found guilty by a jury of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime. A sentence hearing will be scheduled following the completion of a pre-sentence investigation by the U.S. Probation Office. Lewis could potentially spend the next 40 years in federal prison, according to a press release. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
