An unusual case has emerged that has many talking. Recently a young woman was arrested for drug possession and trafficking charges and it turns out she may be the daughter of a Drug Enforcement Agency office.
Authorities in Teas have arrested 19-year-old Sarah Furay after they found marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and ecstasy in her apartment, KCEN-TV reports..
The probable cause statement for the incident said officers found 31.5 grams of packaged cocaine, 29 tablets of ecstasy, 126 grams of marijuana, 60 doses of a drug related to LSD and an unverified amount of methamphetamine.

Death and Taxes reports Furay to be the daughter of DEA agent Bill Furay, who has been with the agency since 2008.
Bill oversaw DEA operations to crack down on drug trafficking organizations in Texas.
The Houston Chronicle reported in 2010 Bill celebrated the success of an DEA operation, coded-named Agent Orange, which arrested 60 people reportedly associated with Mexico’s Sinaloa narcotics cartel.
In 2009, Bill boasted of the results of a two-year undercover joint investigation that dismantled a major drug trafficking organization in the Lake Jackson-Freeport area, according to ABC.
Bill is currently serving as the DEA’s diplomatic representative at the U.S. ambassador’s office in Panama City, Panama.
Penalties for trafficking Schedule 1 and 2 drugs such as cocaine, LSD, methamphetamine and marijuana can carry decades of prison time, according to the DEA’s website.
