Deep East Texas Man Arrested in Large Vernon Parish Drug Bust

Vernon Parish Sheriff Sam Craft says an extensive undercover investigation resulted in a drug bust on Friday and the arrest of a Deep East Texas man.

According to Craft, 32-year-old Damecio A. Hollis, of Lufkin, is jailed after deputies discovered several pounds of cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana, along with four handguns – three of which were reported as stolen – and ammunition.

Craft said search and arrest warrants were executed at a well-known drug hot spot in Leesville, known locally as “The Hole”, and Craft said the drug operation was being conducted from a “trap house”, which he explained is a house that is used specifically for the purpose of distributing illegal narcotics.

According to Craft, his department along with Leesville Police conducted the operation and he noted that more arrests are expected in this case.
