Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a registered sex offender and recovered a stolen firearm during a traffic stop Saturday, May 23.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, deputies assigned to the Memorial Day DWI Task Force conducted a traffic stop at approximately 8:25 p.m. in the 8200 block of FM 1488 in Magnolia.
The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was identified as Jose Dennis Garcia-Murillo.
During the investigation, deputies working alongside Homeland Security Investigations Houston determined Garcia-Murillo had an outstanding Immigration and Customs Enforcement administrative warrant. Investigators also learned Garcia-Murillo is a convicted sex offender who had previously been deported from the United States and later re-entered the country illegally.
After Garcia-Murillo was taken into custody, deputies discovered a firearm inside the vehicle that had been reported stolen during an aggravated robbery in Houston.
Authorities said Garcia-Murillo was working as a contract Amazon delivery driver and had packages in the vehicle at the time of his arrest.
He was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and booked into the Montgomery County Jail.
Because Garcia-Murillo reported residing in Harris County, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Sex Offender Compliance Unit notified the Harris County Sheriff’s Office after determining he had not registered as a sex offender there as required by law.
Additional charges may be filed by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
He’s just here to harvest crops, alright.
LOL! Sammy. No. Mostly to commit crimes and lower the standard of living.
Why is Amazon contracting drivers with no vetting? You folks happy with a driver like that coming up to your front door with a package?
This one brought an unexpected package to some dude’s back door.
