Sheriff’s Deputy Seth Nagel made a traffic stop on a 2011 Infiniti that was traveling westbound on State Highway 71 near West Point for a traffic violation.
Upon contact with the occupants, the driver did not have a Texas Driver’s License.
Nagel observed 24 open Corona beer bottles in the vehicle, so he conducted a search to see if there were more open containers in the car.
