HOUSTON -- Note: The following story is a verbatim transcript of an Investigators story that aired on Monday, July 23, 2007, on KPRC Local 2 at 6 p.m.

A new round of arrests is sending more people to prison in a Houston neighborhood that's been terrorized by school-zone drug dealers.

In a two-month hidden camera investigation, Local 2 Investigates found crack dealers taking over a school zone near the Gulf Freeway at Scott and now Houston police say they've captured a second ringleader. Local 2 investigative reporter Stephen Dean has the latest information.

This crack-dealing in broad daylight had parents from nearby Dodson Elementary afraid for their kids so they contacted Local 2 Investigates.

"It's real close to the school. Some kids have to walk through it. It's very close. I don't like it," said an unidentified concerned parent.

HPD's narcotics squad sent undercover officers in. They found the dealers storing crack in M&M bottles, kept right out by the street where curious kids could pick them up.

Five people went to prison, including five years for this man -- ringleader Adrian Posey.

"Get that camera out of my face," Posey said.

"I want to know if you're dealing drugs in a school zone," Dean asked.

"I don't want to talk to you, dog (expletive)," Posey said.

Now police have arrested his brother, another ringleader, Herman Posey. He'll spend two years in prison.

Jontrae Nelams gets six months along with two other crack dealers arrested within the past two weeks.

Police say the neighbors' fears were justified because look at the weapons raid teams found in the school zone.

"When you bring the guns out, it's usually not the dope dealers who get shot. It's some innocent person standing by," said Sgt. John Yencha, with HPD Narcotics.

"This school zone is prime real estate for drug dealers because buyers can get in and out in a hurry, then jump onto the freeway from this neighborhood -- why police say they'll be launching new stings as school starts back up," Dean reported.

"We're going to continue to keep pressure on them and they're going to have to keep wondering who's the law and who is not," Yencha said.
