Last week, the police arrested two Texas men on several charges when they allegedly found them in possession of approximately 56 pounds of marijuana in multiple bags with an assessed value of $70,000.
On May 23, law enforcement officers from the Bryan Police Department Directed Deployment Team were keeping an eye on a local home after learning that there was potential drug activity happening in the dwelling. They saw someone come out of the house with a backpack, and the man got into a vehicle and began driving away.
Officers trailed the driver until they allegedly saw him make a turn without signaling first, and the 30-year-old was pulled over. They reported that they detected a strong smell of marijuana, and when they searched his vehicle, they allegedly found about a pound of pot.
