Tire Dealership Owner Faces 99-Year Sentence

Following a drug raid at a tire dealership in Edinburg, Texas, the store’s owner is facing felony drug charges for selling cocaine to drive-thru motorists, according to media reports.

The owner of Joe’s Tire Shop was charged with possession with intent to distribute more than four but less then 200 grams of cocaine, a first degree felony. According to local reports, his bond was set at $50,000.

The owner was arrested after an Edinburg SWAT team raided his business on Feb. 25. Undercover officers purchased cocaine from him on several occasions before his arrest, according to a criminal complaint.

If convicted, the owner faces a maximum of 99 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
