Smith noticed several criminal indicators and obtained consent to search the vehicle. The search revealed a concealed compartment in the trunk floor area, hiding the bundles that tested positive for cocaine.

22-year-old Joshua Joe Rosas of Rio Grande City was transported to the Dan R. Beck Justice Center and charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance.
