Officials discovered five bundles of marijuana weighing a total of 275.35 pounds of the drug.
Border Patrol officials in Brownsville, Texas, found something you might not expect to discover in a car carrying 275 pounds of marijuana — an infant boy sitting next to huge bricks of the drug.
In a federal complaint, an agent from the Drug Enforcement Administration noted that this golf course had a reputation for being a “smuggling corridor” for illegal drugs coming across the U.S.-Mexico border. There were five large packages containing a total of 275.35 pounds of a substance that tested positive for marijuana. Photos released by authorities show large packages wrapped in rope inside the car and a baby tucked into a car seat holding a bottle.Two women were taken into custody at the scene, 22-year-old Ashley Renee Resendiz and 47-year-old Carla Michelle Resendiz. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Ashley Resendiz. Police did not indicate whether the two are related.
Carla Resendiz was subsequently released on $75,000 bond. Ashley Resendiz waived her right to a detention hearing and now must stay in custody until her trial. The infant boy was placed in the care of a relative, according to the Dallas Morning News.
