Mexican Nationals Face Drug Charges After Being Apprehended Smuggling Dozens Of Pounds Of Marijuana
Story by Demian Bio • 17h
Two Mexican citizens have been apprehended and charged after being caught carrying dozens of pounds of marijuana close to a Texas highway.
According to Border Report, the men were found by U.S. Border Patrol agents in Jeff Davis County after receiving alerts from surveillance camera operators.
Agents drove to an isolated spot and noticed the men, who ditched the backpacks and ran away. They were caught four hours later, with court records showing that Manuel Ivan Soto Delgado and Francisco Baca Baca had crossed into the country illegally. They are now facing charges of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.
CBP routinely details drug seizures near the border. One such recent episode took place in late July, when agents seized almost 300 pounds of methamphetamine inside solar panels.
