The Brazos County district attorney’s office issues a news release about the punishment given to a College Station man described by a department of public safety special agent as being at “the top of the pyramid as far as local drug traffickers are concerned for the early 2020’s”. 44 year old Jeremy Daniel, who admitted to possessing more than four pounds of methamphetamine, contested his punishment. The judge sentenced Daniel to 30 years in prison and fined him $44,000 dollars. WTAW News has asked the Brazos County district attorney’s office for the estimated street value of the seized drugs. Jail records show Daniel, who was booked for the 39th time in January 2023, is also being held on a parole violation and five warrants on drug charges from Leon County. WTAW News has e-mailed the Leon County district attorney’s office requesting the status of Daniel’s charges, where bonds total $2.6 million dollars. News release from the Brazos County district attorney’s office: Jeremy Daniel was sentenced to 30 years TDCJ and a $44,000 Fine by 361st District Judge David Hilburn after a contested punishment hearing on January 29, 2024. Daniel was arrested on January 23, 2023 for possessing with intent to deliver over two kilograms of methamphetamine. This charge stemmed from an incident in which Daniel was caught with the methamphetamine during the course of his arrest for felony warrants related to drug dealing in another county. Daniel’s arrest and successful prosecution resulted from work performed by law enforcement officers at the City, County, State, and Federal level. Multiple agencies worked together to investigate and put a stop to Daniel’s criminal enterprise. At the punishment hearing, Judge Hilburn heard testimony from law enforcement detailing the methods employed in the joint investigation as well as Daniel’s proficiency in the tradecraft of eluding surveillance. A Texas Department of Public Safety Special Agent testified describing Daniel as “the top of the pyramid” as far as local drug traffickers are concerned for the early 2020s. The District Attorney’s Office would like to thank all law enforcement officers and agencies at every level of government who worked together to develop this ironclad case against Jeremy Daniel, and in particular the work of the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division. Statement from assistant district attorney Kevin Capps: “Methamphetamine destroys lives and families in our community. The people who profit from this destruction will pay the price in Brazos County.”
