LOBOS DISCOVERS $5.9 MILLION IN METH HIDDEN IN FUEL TANK
Another multi-million dollar meth seizure has been made by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office on Interstate 10. Sheriff Keith Korenek reports that on Friday night Sgt. Randy Thumann and K9 partner Lobos, stopped a 2009 Freightliner on Interstate 10 for a traffic violation. Sgt. Thumann observed the driver was extremely nervous and way off route. The driver’s log book and shipping papers also displayed several indicators of criminal activity.
Consent to search the vehicle was given to Sgt. Thumann. He deployed his K9 Lobos to conduct an exterior sweep of the vehicle. Thumann observed Lobos alerted to the driver side fuel tank on the Freightliner. An aftermarket compartment was discovered built into the fuel tank. Inside the compartment approximately 60 kilos of methamphetamines with a street value of 5.9 million dollars were discovered. The driver Ramon Villa (59) of Houston was arrested for felony drug possession and taken to the Fayette County Jail.
When I come to see my parents, I grab the newspapers just to see how much more these 2 cops have cleaned off the streets. Thank you both and keep up the great work and be safe.
THANK YOU Sgt. Randy Thurmon for your wisdom in reading behaviors & knowledge of changes to equipment & having such a great K9 partner to do everything you can do to protect us from these Drugs! God Bless you & keep both of you SAFE!
I hope this canine is getting a pay raise. Lol. He and his human partner are amazing. I’d like to see a grand total of the amount of drugs these two have kept off the streets. Great job and thank you so much for your service.
It would be interesting to know which direction these drugs are moving on I-10; Eastbound or Westbound. Either way, keep up the great work with that awesome Lobos!
Wow That dog is amazing , He is really helping to get Drugs off the streets, Great Job, The Fayette County Sheriff’s office should be very proud of their effort in the Drug war. Great Job!
