(4/07/04 - SUGAR LAND, TX) — Three suspects are accused of selling drugs while working in a Sugar Land restaurant.

A two-month investigation found the suspects were selling cocaine while working at a Boston Market restaurant on Highway 6. Investigators with the Fort Bend County Narcotics Task Force arrested the men on Tuesday.

The store manager, identified as 28-year-old Enrique Santiago, an employee identified as 20-year-old Ernst Chad Toepffer IV and an associate identified as 23-year-old Eric Garcia were taken into custody during business hours while selling narcotics to an undercover officer. According to investigators, several buys of cocaine had been made from the suspects on previous occasions.

Three vehicles believed to contain additional contraband and several weapons have been seized. Additionally, property stolen from a Houston Community College Campus was recovered at a residence located in the 12000 block of Wittington in Houston in relation to this incident.

No wonder that quarter chicken-white cost so much.

I once saw an attempted drug deal in Cafe Eccel. No Joke.

We noticed a sweaty nervous guy standing around at the door. He told the hostess that he was waiting to talk to a guy in the kitchen. Then he waited by the kitchen entry. A few minutes later, a cook came out and shook his hand. The nervous dude pulled a vial out and falshed in in front of the cook. The cook grabbed his hand and looked at him like, "Don't be flashing that stuff in here." and then the nervous guy left.

Good times.

I work right around the corner from that Boston Market and I was in the store Monday night getting chicken soup for my sick boss. Brown noser!!!! Anyway will have to go back and see if some of the regular counter help is now gone. One person was really cool, hope he didn't get busted. More and more of this kind of stuff going on in Sugar Land all the time. Comes with the growth and proximity to Houston.
