Montgomery County Authorities Release Info About Magnolia Meth Deal

MAGNOLIA, TX — The Montgomery County Pct. 5 Constable's Office released information about a recent meth bust.

On July 28, Anthony Hajecate, 23, and Ryan Swonke, 21, traveled from Spring to Magnolia to sell 53 grams, or about 1.8 ounces, of methamphetamine. When the pair headed out they were each armed with a .45 caliber pistol, with a back-up magazine and a knife.

It's unclear how the deputy constables caught the dynamic duo, or why, when Hajecate and Swonke decided break bad, the pair of aspiring drug dealers thought it was a good idea to spend 40-45 mins driving 30-35 miles to sell twack.

Although the constable's office isn't saying anything about the details of the operation, it sounds like a sting. What's also unclear is how the pair got a hold of that much ice, and the pistols, in the first place.

It doesn't take a genius to imagine that five-oh was sweating Hajecate and Swonke pretty hard about where they got the crystal.

If Hajecate and Swonke don't cut a deal they're facing charges on manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance, a first degree felony punishable with 5-99 in prison and a fine up to $10,000.
