SAN ANTONIO — A man and a woman were arrested after the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office made a big drug bust at a downtown hotel, authorities said.
Tomas Hernandez Jr., 22, and 38-year-old Yolanda Ramos Ponce, 38, are in custody and face drug charges. Sheriff Javier Salazar said the Texas Department of Public Safety got a tip Wednesday night about drug trafficking taking place at a hotel on East Houston Street.
Authorities said a warrant was quickly served and deputies found 10 kilos of meth mixed with fentanyl in one of the rooms. BCSO estimates the seized drugs carried a street value of $500,000 to $800,000.
Salazar said he believes the suspects were being used to transport the drugs.
