The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said they along with the Texas Department of Public Safety executed a search warrant last Wednesday at a home in the 5900 block of Lost Creek off of Judson Road.

They arrested 26-year-old Nicholas Mata and 24-year-old Selena Benites.  They were both charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute narcotics and will be facing multiple state and federal weapons charges.
