Cocaine Found in Decorative Water Fountains After I-10 Traffic Stop

Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek reports on Wednesday, Dec. 6, around 1:55 p.m. Drug Interdiction Sgt. Randy Thumann and his Canine partner “Kolt” conducted a traffic stop on a 2014 Ford truck pulling a white Utility trailer on I-10 E/B at the 671 mile marker for a traffic violation.

Thumann approached the vehicle which was occupied by three individuals. Upon contact with the driver criminal indicators were observed, the report said. Thumann was given consent to search the truck and trailer. Assisting at the scene was Deputy Herman Olvera. A search of the trailer resulted in three concealed bundles of cocaine in decorative water fountains.

The three male subjects identified as 24-year-old Pablo Antonio, 37-year-old Rixco Terrablanco, and the driver 25-year-old Javier Huapillam-Martinez, all of Florida, were arrested and transported to the Dan R. Beck Justice Center and charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance.
