HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KIAH) — A local Popeyes employee has been arrested after allegedly selling marijuana at his fast food job. The employee is also accused of firing gunshots at a customer during a drug deal gone bad while at the restaurant.

According to Harris County Constable Mark Herman’s Office, deputies responded to reports of gunfire at the Popeyes located on FM 1960 Bypass Rd West near the Eastex Freeway on September 27, 2023. Investigators said Yadiel Gonzalez, the employees accused, was selling pot to customers while on the job at Popeyes.

Authorities said a male customer allegedly tried to steal Gonzalez’s backpack that had the drugs while the two were involved in a drug deal in the bathroom. The argument continued outside the Popeyes, where Gonzalez fired a gun at the customer who fled with no injuries.

Authorities caught Gonzalez and recovered the backpack containing drugs. They also found the gun allegedly used by Gonzalez, in a dumpster nearby. Now Gonzalez is charged with Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon, Deadly Conduct, and Tampering with Evidence.

Harris County is part of Houston. It wouldn't surprise me if he was illegal and a cartel member in good standing. Nice cover too. Lot's of traffic could be passed off as Popeyes' customers.

A cartel member? In a sanctuary city just 400 miles from the border? Who would have thunk it.

That would make it easier to retain some type of weapon up there.

It is way for a business to differentiate from competitors. Unique customer service—you want lead with that?

"Harris County is part of Houston. It wouldn't surprise me if he was illegal and a cartel member in good standing."

My wife's sisters live in El Paso, they say the local politics there have been nearly overrun by the cartels..... Not good.!

It may be time to start checking into the bank accounts of all those very liberal prosecutors. We may find more cartel then we could possibly imagine..
