Spicy bud: Peppers and over 5,000 pounds of pot seized in downtown San Antonio drug bust

SAN ANTONIO — You've heard of laced drugs, but a big rig driver pulled over in downtown San Antonio on Thursday allegedly had a brand new concoction: poblano peppers and pot.

The driver, delivering the spicy buzz of about 5,076 pounds of marijuana, was pulled over at 4th and Broadway streets around 1 a.m. in an all-white 18-wheeler, police said.

The federal Drug Enforcement Administration assisted San Antonio Police with the bust because of the large amount of suspected drugs, and towed the truck and trailer to a lot on Zarzamora Street to determine the contents in the truck.

Investigators said the driver was heading north from Harlingen but it was unclear where he was going.
