Traffic stop yeilds 3,200 pounds of marijuana

By Jessica Savage | Tuesday, September 8, 2009, 02:43 PM

State troopers found 3,212 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop last week near a Texas-Mexico border town, according to a press release.

The marijuana was concealed in a commercial truck painted to look like it belonged to an oil field service company. A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper stopped the truck on state Highway 59 near Hebbronville in Jim Hogg County. Hebbronville is approximately an hour and a half due east of Laredo.

Jason Jerard Hambric, 34, of Galveston, has been charged with first-degree felony possession of marijuana and booked into the Jim Hogg County Jail, stated the DPS release.

The U.S. Border Patrol and Jim Hogg County Sheriff’s Office both assisted with the bust.
