(Guadalupe County) — With drug seizures and arrests already more than doubling over last year, the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office says it has added yet another victory to its list. This one — a six-kilo cocaine bust on Interstate 10.

Guadalupe County Sheriff Joshua Ray says the traffic stop was reported on Thursday at around 6:30 p.m. near mile marker 617. He says after developing clues of criminal activity, the deputy conducted a lawful vehicle search on a 2013 Dodge pickup truck and uncovered approximately six kilograms of cocaine, valued at $84,000.

Two men — Brandon Lee Garcia of Laredo and Lorenzo Garza of Somerset – were arrested and charged with manufacturing/delivery of a controlled substance. Both were booked into the Guadalupe County Jail.
