Florida men arrested after cocaine found in decorative water fountains during Texas traffic stop
FAYETTE COUNTY, Texas - Three men from Florida were arrested in Fayette County after a K-9 unit found cocaine concealed inside decorative water fountains in their trailer.
24-year-old Pablo Antonio, 37-year-old Rixco Terrablanco, and 25-year-old Javier Huapillam Martinez are charged with felony possession of a controlled substance.
The Fayette County Sheriff's Office says that on Dec. 6, just before 2 p.m., a K-9 unit stopped a 2014 Ford truck pulling a white utility trailer on I-10 near Schulenberg for a traffic violation.
The deputy approached, made contact with the driver, and observed "criminal indicators," says FCSO. During a search of the trailer, three concealed bundles of cocaine were found in decorative water fountains.
