30 YEARS FOR DOPE ON BUS
Montgomery County prosecutors were satisfied with the outcome of a major drug trafficking trial that wrapped up late Thursday afternoon in the 410th District Court with Judge Suzanne Stovall filling in for Judge Mayes.
Assistant District Attorneys Rob Freyer and Vince Santini presented evidence against 29-year-old Ramiro Trevino Jr., of San Benito, Texas, a repeat offender who has fared well with light sentences in other counties and states but has now learned a hard lesson about Montgomery County that Freyer and Santini hope will make others like Trevino take notice.
On June 10, 2012, Deputy David Everton of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office stopped an El Expresso passenger bus, with almost 40 passengers en route from Houston to Chicago. The bus was headed north on US 59 and had a defective tail lamp. Freyer said Everton immediately noticed the driver behaving suspiciously, as well as a particular passenger, later identified as Trevino.
Everton obtained consent from the driver to search the bus and other units responded to assist. Where Tervino was sitting, in a sleeping area, Splendora Police Officer Hernandez found a hidden compartment cut into the floor complete with fresh sawdust. In that compartment, 6 kilos of cocaine, 2 kilos of brown heroin and almost 90 grams of black tar heroin, which expert testimony revealed had a wholesale value of approximately $400,000, but the street value was far more, as Freyer reaffirmed after the trial.

CRASH I-45 NORTHBOUND AT SH 242
At approximately 5 pm the driver of a Ford F-150 pickup was involved in a minor accident in the city of Shenandoah. The male driver fled the scene heading toward Interstate 45 driving reckless and speeding. Multiple calls came into 911 reporting the driver.
Moments later he entered the freeway northbound just north of Research and crossed all lanes of traffic to the left shoulder striking the concrete wall. The driver continued at a high rate of speed northbound on the left shoulder until the shoulder narrowed back to the main lanes in the construction area. It was at that point that he slammed into the rear of an Avalon occupied by two adults and a child. The truck then crossed all the lanes back to the right shoulder crashing into the concrete wall.
When emergency crews arrived they found the driver lying outside of the vehicle on the ground. At first, it was thought he was ejected, however, there was no damage to the driver door or glass in the vehicle.
Troopers speculate the driver saw the wall coming up and feared going over it at which time the driver jumped out of the vehicle.
He was flown by PHI Air Medical to Memorial Hermann in Houston in critical condition with a head injury.
The freeway reopened at 7:15 pm but not before backing traffic up well into Harris County and causing gridlock throughout The Woodlands as motorists tried to avoid the freeway.
Additional details and names will be posted as soon as available,
The three occupants of the Avalon were transported to Memorial Hermann in The Woodlands.
