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."
Think he’ll give back the millions he’s received from the Mexican cartels to look away?
His dope habit is going to be found to be the tip of the iceberg.
“The guards run the heroin action in prison to keep the neanderthals mellow.”
It would make sense that it’s heroin. Cocaine makes people hyper. But heroin relaxes them for hours.
ROFL!!!
You can’t make this #### up :)

“Wow, 1997! Never saw Lost Highway.”
David Lynch never fails to capture the surreal, dreamlike state in his films. I wouldn’t describe myself as a big fan, but I recognize his talent.
Robert Blake, despite the irony and shame of his legal issues (he was charged but acquitted in his wife’s murder), was a pretty fine actor. Though he is still alive, Lost Highway was his last role. He started as a child actor in 1939.
His earliest role I’ve ever seen was the kid who gives Bogart the lottery ticket in Treasures of the Sierra Madre. That is one of my favorite films. It was directed by John Huston, one of the greatest directors of all time. He’s more my speed than Lynch.
If he had been a Republican this would have been a big story...
lol
What a dumb #### :)
Hope you are doing well man, :)
Me, i’m the same. Don’t know if that’s good or bad so on’t ask lol

He had big shoes to fill and he did a good job.
That was a weird suicide.
