On August 9, 2007, U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents arrested 18-year-old at the time Horizon High School graduate Rene Humberto “Jetta” Perez for smuggling drugs between Mexico and Oklahoma City, OK. He was charged with conspiring to import about 1,000 kilos of marijuana and was sentenced to serve in prison. A federal magistrate set bond at $20,000. The Clint Independent School District was forced to install security camera system to detect any drug-related activity around the school. On July 23, 2007, former student Ivan Lozoya informed law enforcement that Perez was responsible for the recruitment of several students to smuggle the drugs, which were then transported to drug lord known as “El Tio” in Oklahoma City. This investigation took months, when other students were captured for smuggling drugs into the U.S.; all accused Perez and Lozoya as recruiters of drug smuggling.[3]
On August 30, 2012, Horizon City police went into Horizon High School and took photographs of students' tattoos, saying it was for gang activity information. One of the students' parents was extremely upset due to the photographs being taken of her son's tattoos because she said it humiliated him and put her son's life in danger. Police Chief Michael McConnel stated he was not aware of the operation and that the photographs were destroyed, as he felt those police officers did not handle the situation appropriately.[4]
