SAN ANTONIO – Antorr Allison, 49, has been arrested on a warrant stemming from a drug-related raid at his East Side home in April. He’s suspected of being one of San Antonio’s biggest dealers of synthetic marijuana, also known as Kush.
Members of the San Antonio Police Department’s high intensity drug unit, known as HIDTA, descended upon the home in a 1500 block of Montana Street Wednesday morning. With the help of a SWAT team, they forced their way into the residence and took Allison into custody.

Sgt. Jaime Trevino said his team had been investigating Allison for about six months. He described him as the “biggest Kush dealer in the city.”
Task force members also seized about $5,000 in cash during the raid Wednesday, Trevino said.
Because members of HIDTA work undercover, only Sgt. Dean Reuter spoke to KSAT 12 News on camera. He said the team had to take precautions when it came to making the arrest.
"Because of the criminal history that the suspect has, SWAT executed the warrant and made entry," Reuter said. "The suspect has been involved in some dealing of synthetic marijuana, also known as Kush. It's part of an ongoing investigation."
Trevino said in April, the HIDTA unit raided another home owned by Allison and located directly across the street from the one where they arrested him. He said that is where they seized the drugs that led to the warrant being issued for his arrest.
In addition to the charges he currently faces, Allison has a lengthy criminal history. Records show, among other things, that he is a registered sex offender.
