38-year-old Erich Spannhake

A Kyle man was arrested for possession of psychedelic drugs.

Police said on Friday, Dec. 6, 38-year-old Erich Spannhake was arrested on multiple drug charges, including possession of about 14 pounds of psychedelic drugs.

Spannhake was previously arrested in April 2024 for the illegal possession of Fentanyl and Xanax. 

Police said, from that arrest, two more substances were seized and sent to the forensic laboratory for analysis. The results confirmed the substances were testosterone and Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a psychedelic drug similar to LSD.

"This arrest highlights our continuous commitment to remove these dangerous drugs from our community," said Kyle Police Chief Dr. Jeff Barnett. "I commend the officers in their thorough investigative work that led to this arrest. We will continue to work diligently to keep Kyle safe and hold these individuals accountable."

Additional warrants were issued for the illegal possession of DMT and unprescribed testosterone. 

Spannhake also faces charges of evading and resisting arrest.
