LAREDO, Texas -- A Texas Highway Patrol trooper found 5,408 lbs. of marijuana inside a school bus after pulling over the vehicle north of Laredo, Texas Department of Public Safety officials said.

The driver fled on foot from the scene. The bus was marked to resemble a United Independent School District bus. DPS officials estimate the marijuana is worth more than $1.7 million.

DPS continues to investigate leads in the case.

If the troopers shot the man, they would probably be put in jail like the innocent border agents who shot a mexican drug dealer and spent two years in jail under the rino George Bush.
The dems use drugs to seduce and destroy Americans and are in cahoots with the drug dealers is what I see.
The change Americans voted for is destroying them and their children and the politicians are loving it.

According to troopers, they suspected something fishy about the bus from the water paint images drawn on the windows of little school boys and girls.

Swinny, This happened a few months ago, or maybe as long as a year ago, with another school bus. Either you or I posted that story.

....maybe you’re thinking of the fake UPS truck they busted in AZ....it was a pretty good counterfit until you looked real close.

No, here in Texas there have been several school bus busts. However, in this exact location there was another recently.

Donuts.

Plus, if he wasn’t posing an immediate threat I imagine it is against the rules to shoot him.

I didn’t suggest they shoot him...if police stop me, out in the open, could I escape/flee on foot???

...I doubt it...
