The officers performed a traffic stop, which led to Cabriales being taken into custody and charged with Aggravated Robbery of a Business. During the investigation, officers obtained intelligence about a drug dealer, 37-year-old Edgar Cayetano, operating in the area. Cayetano was known by the officers to have active warrant for probation violation, and he was located in the 3300 block of Marvin D Love Freeway on September 26, 2025. Officers took Cayetano into custody and discovered he had 11 grams of fentanyl and 8.9 grams of methamphetamine, along with a handgun and nearly $700 in currency in his possession.
Cayetano was arrested for his probation violation warrant and charged with two counts of first-degree felony Manufacture / Delivery of a Controlled Substance and Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon with a Felony Conviction, a second-degree felony.
Major Raymario Sanchez, Southwest Patrol Division commander, said, “Chasing down every lead in an investigation is good police work.
