AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Travis County Sheriff's Office released details on its largest meth seizure in over 20 years, following the indictment of the person who was responsible for it, according to a release from TCSO. In August, the TCSO Vice Unit recieved information about alleged large-scale drug trafficking activities by Juan Jose Cardenas-Flores and began investigating, according to the release. During the investigation, Cardenas-Flores was linked to a robbery that was being investigated by the Austin Police Department. TCSO Vice investigators and APD robbery detectives, along with the Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force, developed enough information to issue a robbery arrest warrant and search warrant, which were executed on Oct. 5.

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag weekly during the season and periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.Hi Parker, longtime Arizona Broncos fan here (lots of family in Colorado). Appreciate reading your mailbag and Broncos’ insight (along with Mark Kiszla’s). Disappointed in how the Russell Wilson trade worked out, was optimistic about Denver finally being out of QB purgatory (pun intended). What are your thoughts on the Broncos possibly pursuing Justin Fields or other top prospects in the draft?— DJK, Prescott, Ariz.Hey DJK, thanks for writing in and getting us going this week. Indeed, it’s setting up to be a quarterback-centric offseason for the Broncos.

If the club takes the entire $85 million dead cap number in 2024 (doesn’t seem particularly likely, but it’s not technically impossible), the options are going to be slim from a financi...
