April 2025

Criminal District Attorney Erleigh Norville Wiley announced that on April 21, 2025, a coordinated law enforcement operation in Kaufman and Dallas Counties, led by the Texas Department of Public Safety, with crucial assistance from local law enforcement partners, resulted in the seizures of vehicles, jewelry, firearms, and approximately $4.8 million in United States currency. This action followed an ongoing investigation into the illegal distribution of controlled substances through multiple businesses operating under the names Sky Rise and ZRD Smoke Shops. As a result of the operation, law enforcement officers seized significant assets believed to be connected to this illegal activity. This remains an active and ongoing investigation. Therefore, no further details regarding the investigation or potential suspects can be released at this time to protect the integrity of the process.
