A traffic stop by the highway patrol sent four Houston-area residents to the Kendall County Detention Center on charges of money laundering and organized crime after officers recovered a gun, marijuana and $80,000 in a backpack.
The incident unfolded about 12:30 p.m. Feb. 3 in the 38000 block of Interstate 10 West when Department of Public Safety Trooper Jarrett Mieure noticed a 2024 Hyundai Elantra with what appeared to be an expired license plate and illegal window tint, officials said.
Mieure pulled the car over and smelled “the distinct odor of marijuana” coming from inside when he walked up to the vehicle, according to reports.
