Thelate Wednesday arrested two brothers and seized more than 300 THC vape pens and other drugs from their home in Poteet.
At about 9 p.m., sheriff’s deputies and the office’s narcotics unit executed a search warrant in the 800 block of Boyd Street, just off School Drive, according to a post on the Atascosa County Sheriff’s Facebook page. Sheriff’s investigators also seized $39,867, believed to be proceeds from the sale of drugs, and a gold-colored money counter, measuring scales, and a Santa Muerte statue covered in $50 and $100 bills. According to the Facebook post, the statue is a folk saint that offers “protection and safe delivery to the afterlife.” Guerra said these statues are often found in possession of drug dealers seeking protection from law enforcement.
