KERR COUNTY, Texas — A 36-year-old San Antonio man was arrested after allegedly agreeing to travel to Kerr County to sell methamphetamine to undercover investigators he contacted through an online chat group.
The Kerr County Sheriff's Office identified the suspect as Aaron Ray Salinas, 36, of San Antonio, who was arrested October 20, 2026, during a narcotics operation conducted by the department's Special Operations Division.
According to investigators, deputies contacted Salinas through an online chat group as part of an operation targeting drug trafficking in Kerr County.
During the exchange, Salinas allegedly agreed to travel from San Antonio to deliver and sell methamphetamine to investigators.
When Salinas arrived at the predetermined meeting location, deputies conducted a felony traffic stop.
A probable cause search of his vehicle uncovered a bag containing 10.2 grams of methamphetamine, according to the Sheriff's Office.

He was charged with manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance, Penalty Group 1, involving four grams or more but less than 200 grams.
His bond was set at $75,000.
Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said the operation was part of ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in the county.
