Dallas – A significant drug bust in South Dallas led to the arrest of 26-year-old Ricky Morrison on July 15, 2025, following a coordinated effort between the Dallas Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety. This operation stemmed from a tip regarding suspected drug activities in the 3100 block of Harmon Street, which prompted law enforcement to execute a search warrant at the location.
During the search, officers recovered a substantial amount of drugs and drug paraphernalia. The haul included over five pounds of THC wax, amounting to approximately 2,499.8 grams, more than 16 pounds of marijuana (7,397 grams), along with smaller quantities of Oxycodone (1.3 grams), THC edibles (252.4 grams), Adderall (2.8 grams), and eight bottles of Promethazine. Investigators also seized various items linked to drug distribution, such as scales, a packaging heat sealer, and other packaging materials, as well as firearm-related items, including a rifle and pistol magazine and a speed loader. Additionally, multiple cameras and a DVR were taken from the premises.
While the search was ongoing, Morrison was seen driving toward the location but fled immediately upon sighting police officers. Authorities later apprehended him after observing a traffic violation for failing to use a turn signal. Morrison was taken into custody without incident.
Morrison now faces several serious charges, including:
- Manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance (third-degree felony)
- Possession of marijuana (between 5 and 50 pounds, third-degree felony)
- Possession of a controlled substance (third-degree felony)
- Failure to signal a turn
- Operating a motor vehicle without a driver’s license
Despite the detailed evidence collected during the operation, investigators have not disclosed how Morrison is linked to the residence or the seized items. As of now, Morrison’s mugshot has not been made available through the Dallas County jail roster, and the case has been officially documented under number 100422-2025.
This operation highlights the importance of collaboration between different law enforcement agencies in addressing drug-related activities in the community. The coordinated efforts demonstrate how teamwork can yield significant outcomes in keeping neighborhoods safe. The authorities emphasized that these operations are crucial for ensuring that residents feel secure in their daily lives, whether they are living, working, or engaging in their communities.
The Dallas Police Department, alongside the Texas Department of Public Safety, aims to continue tackling the challenges posed by illegal drug operations and reinforcing public safety in the region. This arrest not only showcases their dedication but also serves as a warning to others involved in similar activities.
