Authorities reportedly seized 42 grams of methamphetamine from a vehicle in Montgomery County.

A traffic stop in Montgomery County on July 24 by deputies from Pct. 4 Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden’s office and Pct. 1 Constable Phillip Cash’s office resulted in a 32-year-old Mexican National being arrested for Manufacture and Delivery of a Controlled Substance and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.

The man arrested, Jesus Alejandro Acevedo-Vital, who has a San Antonio address, reportedly was found to be in possession of 42 kilos of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of half a million dollars. Inside his vehicle, deputies allegedly discovered a loaded handgun.

The agencies credited the Montgomery County Judge and Commissioners for recently approving overtime that made their traffic enforcement possible.
