Montgomery County, TX – A major narcotics investigation in the Willis area led to the arrest of a woman accused of manufacturing and delivering controlled substances, authorities confirmed Thursday.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the department’s Narcotics Enforcement Team (MOCONET) executed a search on October 31, 2025, uncovering significant quantities of fentanyl and midazolam — two potent controlled substances.
Investigators said the operation resulted in the arrest of Amanda Thomas, who was charged with felony Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance. Deputies seized:
- 12 vials of fentanyl weighing approximately 85.56 grams
- 12 vials of midazolam weighing approximately 87 grams
Officials noted that fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, remains a leading contributor to overdose deaths nationwide. Midazolam, often used in combination with other narcotics, can intensify those risks.
“The potency of these substances presents a clear threat to public safety,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement, adding that the investigation remains ongoing.
Residents with information about narcotics activity are urged to contact the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office or report tips anonymously.
