A Corsicana man was recently indicted on felony drug possession charges in connection with a Pearland Police narcotics investigation in June.
According to Brazoria County court documents, Pearland Police officers were dispatched to the 1300 black of Main St. shortly after midnight Saturday, June 20 to investigate a car crash. Police talked with the drivers of both cars involved in the crash and it was discovered one had provided a false name. Upon further investigation, the man was identified as Danny Vantress Gipson, 35, from Corsicana. Police also discovered Gipson’s driver’s license was not valid and he was taken into custody of charges of driving with an invalid license and providing a false name to police.
During the arrest process, police searched the suspect and allegedly discovered a baggie in his front pocket containing cocaine and 35 Ecstasy tablets. The alleged drugs were seized and later tested in a lab, court records indicate.
Gipson was taken to the Pearland Jail and later released on a $5,000 bond. A Brazoria County Grand Jury recently reviewed the case and Gipson was indicted on felony charge of possession of a controlled substance (penalty group one). A Brazoria County Jury is expected to consider the charges in the coming weeks.
