More than four pounds of marijuana were seized Friday during the execution of a warrant for a man charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Warrant deputies and probation officers were serving a warrant on 32-year-old Manuel Dimas Fierro, around 11:15 a.m. Friday in the 300 block of Greer Avenue, an Ector County Sheriff’s Office news release stated.
The release detailed Fierro had a warrant for a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was on probation for sexual assault of a child, both second-degree felonies.
While serving the warrant, the release stated, officers could smell a strong odor of marijuana in the residence, and found 47 bags labeled as medical marijuana hidden inside a wall of the residence and inside the frame of a sofa and in a vehicle parked at the residence.
