HOUSTON MAN ARRESTED IN FAYETTE CO. FOR SPEEDING, MARIJUANA

  

Fayette County authorities arrested a Houston man Thursday morning after he was caught speeding 40 miles an hour over the posted speed limit.

Just before 8 a.m., deputies stopped a vehicle on I-10 at the 669 mile marker eastbound, for travelling 117 mph in a posted 75 mph zone.

The driver, identified as 20-year-old Kamron Foster of Houston, had an active warrant out of Gonzales County for a probation violation on a marijuana charge.

A search of the vehicle led to marijuana being found in plain view, in a backpack on the passenger seat floor board area.  A BB gun, which appeared to be a realistic gun, was found next to the marijuana.

Foster was taken to the Dan R. Beck Justice Center, charged with Reckless Driving, Possession of Marijuana, and the active warrant out of Gonzales County.
