Granny dealer: Andrea Flores, 73, has been arrested on drug charges after authorities in Texas say they caught her weighing and packing up cocaine

Law enforcement officials in Texas say they were carrying out a drug raid this week when they walked in on a 73-year-old woman weighing and packaging cocaine.

Andrea Flores was arrested Wednesday on two counts of manufacturing and delivering a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.

The suspected silver-haired drug dealer was apprehended while officers with the Jim Wells Country Sheriff's Office were serving a narcotics search warrant at her home in the 1700 block of Carmen Street in the City of Alice.

According to officials speaking to Alice Echo News, Flores was found bagging up drugs in the back room while watching TV.

A search of the premises yielded 40 grams of synthetic marijuana, 8 grams of cocaine, 100 prescription pills and drug paraphernalia, including a digital scale and sandwich bags, commonly used by people in the illegal drug trade to parcel out narcotics for sale.

Investigators noted it was not Ms Flores' first brush with the law.

They said the geriatric suspect was previously arrested on drug charges in the 1990s, but declined to provide additional details.

‘This goes to show that when it comes to a criminal element anyone can be called a suspect,’ said Jim Wells County Sheriff Daniel Bueno.

As off Friday morning, Flores' name was absent from the list of current inmates at the county jail.
