La Familia drug cartel members indicted in Dallas, feds say

Sixteen Dallas-area residents have been charged with running a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy linked to the La Familia drug cartel, U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldana announced Friday. According to the criminal complaints filed in the case, one of the defendants had a stash house near Tyler where large amounts of drugs were stored. Fourteen of the suspects were arrested in December, when authorities also seized about $700,000 in cash, 70 firearms, 20 pounds of meth, a kilogram of cocaine and a meth conversion lab in Duncanville, according to a news release. The La Familia cartel is based in Mexico but has distribution cells throughout North Texas, the release says.
