Texas Democratic state representative Alfonso "Poncho" Nevárez was caught on video surveillance dropping an envelope containing cocaine at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
The Texas Department of Public Safety filed an affidavit on Oct. 29 detailing surveillance footage that revealed Nevárez "dropping a white paper object" as he walked out of the airport on Sept. 6. Two Texas Department of Transportation employees found the white envelope, prompting an investigation.
Inside the sealed envelope were four "small clear plastic baggies" containing cocaine.
Nevárez, who is chairman of the state house Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee, told the Texas Tribune on Thursday "the news is true."
Nevárez used an envelope with official state letterhead to carry his drugs.
"I observed the white envelope had a letterhead that was from the ‘Office the State of Texas House of Representatives Member Poncho Nevarez,'" Special Agent Otto Cabrera wrote in the affidavit.
The affidavit provides a warrant to test Nevárez's DNA as his saliva is presumed to match the saliva on the envelope. The sample will be used as evidence against the representative.
"I believe that there is probable cause to believe that the DNA profile obtained from Exhibit #S2.P1 could possibly belong to Rep. NEVAREZ," Cabrera said in the affidavit.
On Nov. 8, Nevárez announced he would not seek reelection but did not indicate at the time that drug abuse was his reason for leaving. On Thursday, Nevárez confirmed that the recent news prompted his decision and said he plans to seek treatment.
"I do not have anyone to blame but myself," Nevárez said. "I accept this because it is true and it will help me get better."

Snorting coke makes you smart. /s
That way if he lost it they could mail it back to him ... guy is thinking all the time.
AND THIS, my friends, is what will keep the Drug War going. No one will win, as long as we have people like this who flaunt and show themselves to be above the law. Maybe he should tell everyone where he got this, and follow the trail...back to it’s source.
Oh no Poncho.
Around here, pretty much all the people caught carrying coke are Dims.....
four “small clear plastic baggies”
We call this Possession with intent to Distribute, 20-30 years
I have no idea how much that coke is worth, but makes sense that he would have his name on it so it could be returned if he lost it.
He sort of looks like that actor that had the goofy lying routine (SNL??)
“Well yeah. I had it to test the security systems. I’m on Homeland Security thingy - YEAH, that’s the ticket!”
So that’s what Blow Boy is using all that go-fund-me cash for: Blow to stuff up his whistle.
Wonder which cartel he is connected to.
They’ll get him on a failure to recycle.
Because the Republicans are out of the loop for partisan reasons, or because they get caught less?
Maybe poncho cant read..........affirmative action gets you places.
My thought exactly.
Obviously it was planted by Republicans. Obviously.
Piso mojado y la nieve es cocaina
