Police in Lake Worth on Monday arrested a man they say was carrying a pound of methamphetamine , according to a social media post.
The suspect, 37-year-old Samarine Briscoe, did not yield when deputies from the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department attempted to stop him in the 5800 block of Jacksboro Highway, police said.
Briscoe, who authorities said is a known gang member and methamphetamine distributor, was charged with manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, tampering with evidence and evading arrest.
Briscoe is being held in the Tarrant County Jail on a $625,000 bond, according to the post.
Briscoe was on parole at the time of his arrest and has a “lengthy” history of drug distribution arrests, police said.
