LAREDO, Texas — The Texas Department of Public Safety seized 460 pounds of marijuana following a high-speed pursuit in Starr County last week.
On April 23, 2026, just after 10:30 a.m., a DPS Trooper attempted to stop a maroon Chevy Avalanche for a traffic violation on US-83 in Escobares. The driver refused to stop, leading DPS Troopers on a high-speed chase until crashing into a fence. The driver, identified as 25-year-old Angel Alberto Reyes of Round Rock, Texas, attempted to flee the vehicle but was arrested, according to a press release from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
After searching the vehicle, troopers discovered 40 tape-wrapped bundles of marijuana in the vehicle’s bed and passenger seats. The marijuana has an estimated street value of $115,000, stated the source.
Reyes was charged with possession of marijuana and transported to the Starr County Jail.
