Posted

WEATHERFORD — The Parker County 43rd District Court recently convicted two Springtown men of a first-degree felony for possessing between 4-200 grams of fentanyl with intent to deliver the drug.

Samuel Ibarra, 24, and his younger brother Angel, 21, pled guilty to the charge and were both sentenced to 10 years in prison, according to Parker County’s court records online.

Parker County Special Crimes Unit arrested Samuel and Angel Ibarra in October 2022 following a search warrant at a residence near Springtown. Investigators seized 67.5 tablets — 7.4 grams — from the residence which tested positive for fentanyl. According to the arrest report, Samuel and Angel Ibarra both admitted to selling fentanyl, and the investigator believed the drugs belonged to both of them.

In December 2022, Parker County grand jury indicted the brothers. Samuel Ibarra’s case concluded April 8 while Angel made his plea on April 16.

Samuel and Angel Ibarra declined interviews with The Tri-County Reporter.
