According to a release from the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation was conducted by the agency’s Narcotics Division with assistance from other agencies. On September 23, 2026, Arnaldo Davila Cabrera was arrested and charged with felony possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, specifically methamphetamine. The sheriff’s office reported that Cabrera was being held in the Warren County Jail pending arraignment.

WGNS confirmed Monday morning that Cabrera was booked into the Warren County Jail in McMinnville Thursday morning at approximately 5 a.m. As of Monday, September 28, he remained behind bars.

State and local records reviewed by WGNS show that at the time of his latest arrest, Cabrera was under supervised probation, with supervision assigned through the McMinnville Probation and Parole Office in Warren County. His probation was scheduled to continue until April 9, 2033. The new criminal charge could potentially affect his probation status; however, the outcome of the new case and any probation proceedings will be determined through the court system.

Records also show Cabrera's probation followed his release from a Tennessee Department of Correction facility after previous convictions. Those convictions included being a felon in possession of a firearm with a prior violation, auto burglary, three counts of aggravated assault and two counts of evading arrest involving the risk of death or danger to others. The offenses connected to those convictions date from 2020 through 2024.

Warren County Sheriff Jackie Matheny praised the work of investigators and the agencies involved in the case. In the Warren County Sheriff’s Office release, Matheny stated:

“I could not be prouder of my Narcotics Division. I also want to recognize and sincerely thank every assisting agency and every officer who contributed to this investigation. These investigators work long hours, conduct difficult investigations, follow leads, develop information, and put themselves in dangerous situations because they understand what is at stake. Their dedication is making a difference in Warren County.

We will continue to investigate those who bring dangerous drugs into our community, and we will continue to work with our local, state, and federal partners to disrupt the supply of illegal narcotics wherever it leads us.”

The investigation highlights the quantity of illegal narcotics that can be involved in a single trafficking investigation. Ninety-nine pounds of methamphetamine equals approximately 44.9 kilograms, although authorities did not provide additional details in the information released about where the drugs originated, their intended destination or the other agencies involved in the investigation.

Cabrera is facing the latest charge while presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
