Quinlan man among hundreds arrested in sweep

By Brad Kellar

Quinlan – A Quinlan man is one of several arrested in a nationwide sweep of a Mexican cartel.

The Rockwall Police Department and the Rockwall County Sheriff's Office were among the law enforcement agencies participating in "Project Coronado", which targeted the La Familia cartel.

130 arrest warrants were issued and 45 search warrants were executed Wednesday in several Texas cities, including Quinlan, Dallas, Garland, and Mesquite. Approximately 84 alleged members of the cartel had been taken into custody, among the more than 110 people charged in the case.

The name of the man arrested in Quinlan had not been released as of Thursday evening.
