Federal authorities charged three men in Abilene, Texas with roles in a narcotics conspiracy that played out over several months, the U.S. Department of Justice announced. Abilene is a city in west-central Texas.
The U.S. Department of Justice said the charges were filed by federal complaint and stem from the men's alleged participation in a drug trafficking operation. Narcotics were seized as part of the enforcement action, the agency reported.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, federal, state, and local agencies worked together to carry out the arrests. The joint effort was described as dismantling the conspiracy that had been operating across multiple months.
The three men now face federal charges tied to their alleged roles in the operation. The U.S. Department of Justice said the coordinated, multi-agency action resulted in both the arrests and the seizure of narcotics connected to the case.
