A Houston man has been sentenced to 15 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice following a narcotics investigation conducted by the Celina Police Department. Dalton Campbell, 32, entered a guilty plea last week and received the sentence for charges related to drug distribution.
The case began on May 29, 2025, when Celina Police officers responded to a major motor vehicle accident in the 100 block of South Preston Road. During the investigation, officers determined that Campbell had been driving recklessly, resulting in a multi-vehicle crash. While at the scene, Celina Fire Department paramedics observed Campbell discarding items into a nearby grassy area before law enforcement arrived.
Officers searched the grassy area and discovered multiple illegal narcotics, including methamphetamine, MDMA, prescription narcotics, and various items of drug paraphernalia.
Campbell was arrested and charged with manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance in Penalty Group 2, tampering with physical evidence, possession of a controlled substance in Penalty Group 1, possession of a controlled substance in Penalty Group 3, and possession of a dangerous drug.
