TEXAS — Deputies with the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office seized four pounds of drugs, including a large quantity of suspected fentanyl, during a search warrant execution at a home in Georgetown on Wednesday.

The Organized Crime Unit, supported by SWAT teams, conducted the raid at a residence on the 1200 block of CR 142.

Authorities recovered approximately 10 ounces of suspected cocaine, five ounces of suspected methamphetamine, about 1,400 pills of suspected fentanyl, 11 pills of oxycodone, 10 ounces of suspected promethazine, and two pounds of suspected marijuana.

Officials also seized roughly $27,000 in cash, precious metals, an AR-15 rifle, two handguns, and two vehicles—a 2023 Honda Ridgeline and a 2024 Honda Accord.

According to the sheriff’s office, the amount of suspected fentanyl found could potentially be lethal to more than 1,000 people.

Two men, 46-year-old Noe Hernandez and 50-year-old Rigoberto Hernandez, were arrested. Noe Hernandez faces three felony counts of manufacturing or distributing methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine. Rigoberto Hernandez was charged with possession of marijuana.

The investigation remains active.
