IRVING, TX – An 18-year-old Irving man was arrested on New Year’s Day for possession and distribution of multiple controlled substances.
On Thursday morning, January 1, 2026, Irving Police officers took Luis Uriel Rodrigues-Diaz into custody after discovering drugs and packaging materials used for distribution. He was booked into the Irving Jail at 11:23 a.m.
Rodrigues-Diaz faces several charges, including Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance in Penalty Group 1 (cocaine and methamphetamine), Possession of a Controlled Substance in Penalty Group 2 (THC), Possession of a Controlled Substance in Penalty Group 3 (opioids and Xanax), and Possession of Marijuana. The charges are enhanced because the drugs were found within a legally designated Drug-Free Zone, which includes areas within 1,000 feet of playgrounds, schools, and higher education institutions.
DFW-INS has also requested an immigration hold on him due to his illegal status in the country.
He is currently pending arraignment, and no bond amount has been set.
