Three people were arrested Tuesday, July 1, after a traffic stop led to the discovery of more than a pound of heroine.
According to arrest reports at the Donley County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Darrin Bridges stopped a black 2005 Jeep Liberty for speeding west of Clarendon on US 287 near mile marker 166 and observed “several indicators of criminal activity.”
Consent to search the vehicle was denied, and a DPS canine unit with Trooper Trevor Dillard was called in.
The canine unit positively alerted on the vehicle, and a probable cause search then yielded 504 grams of controlled substance.
Trooper Bridges arrested Alyssa Hodges, age 28, of Clarendon; David Andrew Vinson, age 38, of Clarendon; and Rosa Maria Garcia, age 37, of California. All three were charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance greater than 400 grams and booked into the Donley County Jail.
Bond was set on each suspect at $50,000, and at press time Vinson had been released on bond.
The vehicle in the case was impounded in Carson County pending seizure, according to arrest records
