Three men traveling from Colorado to Dallas got a night’s stay in the Donley County Jail Sunday after an off-duty deputy saw them smoking pot in front of a local convenience store.
Sheriff Butch Blackburn said off-duty Deputy Odie Smith was getting gas at Allsup’s when he saw the men engaged in illegal activity. He called Deputy Sonny Morasco to the scene, and he observed the driver lighting a bong in plain view, the sheriff said.
Joshua Foreman, age 21, from Euless; Alexander James Salazar, age 20, from Bedford; and Joshua Gordon, age 21, from Bedford, were all arrested and charged with a second degree felony of Possession of Controlled Substance and a class A misdemeanor of possession of marijuana.
Justice of the Peace Denise Bertrand arraigned the men Monday, July 27, with total bond for each one set at $4,500. All three made bond and were released Monday.
Blackburn said the men admitted that they had gone to Colorado to buy drugs and were on their way back to the Dallas area.
In addition to marijuana, the men had THC wax with them, a more potent derivative of marijuana, the sheriff said.
