Laredo, TX (Webb County) – A man sits behind bars Friday morning after a tip to the Laredo Crime Stoppers hotline led the Webb County Sheriff’s Office Narcotic Unit to a stash house near a drug free zone.
The anonymous caller told Narcotics Deputies that a home located in the 2900 block of Montgomery was being used to store drugs. When deputies arrived and received consent to search the home, they found close to 30 pounds of Marijuana with an estimated street value of more than $37,000.
The suspect, Francisco Alberto Luna, 19, was arrested and charged with Possession of Marijuana. The charges were elevated to a felony due to the proximity to F.S. Lara Academy.
Sheriff Martin Cuellar would like to remind the community to always report suspicious activity by calling the Laredo Crime Stoppers Hotline at 956.727.8477. All calls will remain anonymous and if your information leads to an arrest you could be eligible for a cash reward.
