Drug Bust Near Schools in Texas City | Orange County News

Texas City just cracked down on a brazen drug ring operating right near schools — and it’s sending chills through the community. Fifty-year-old Jamell McDonald, a convicted murderer with a 25-year rap sheet, was arrested with a $2 million bond after authorities uncovered fentanyl, marijuana, THC wax, and alcohol packaged to lure teens. The operation, caught on camera accepting digital payments, was running for months and even had multiple suspects taken into custody. Prosecutors are pushing for the max sentence with no plea deals in sight. Neighbors say relief is real — they’ve lived with suspicious activity and fear of violence for months. This isn’t just another bust — it’s a chilling reminder that danger can hide in plain sight, right where kids should feel safe.
