Louisiana law enforcement officials in conjunction with federal agents with the Drug Enforcement Agency arrested a 26-year-old Texas man for allegedly trying to smuggle 15 pounds of heroin hidden in fire extinguishers.
Juan Jesus Vasquez of McAllen was charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin and was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Tuesday, according to a press release from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office.
According to the release, a sheriff's deputy and a K-9 unit were conducting patrols on Interstate 12 when they observed a bus fail to signal when changing lanes.
After stopping the vehicle, the deputy requested to check the luggage compartment of the bus and located two fire extinguishers filled with approximately 7.2 kilograms of heroin inside the bag.
Vasquez has posted a $50,000 bond, according to East Baton Rouge Parish Prison records.
