PRESIDIO COUNTY – A Presidio County Deputy Sheriff discovered 716 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop last week in Presidio, according to the sheriff’s office Facebook page. A 2013 Chevrolet pickup pulling a trailer was taken to the Port of Entry for inspection after being pulled over by a deputy. At the inspection station, it was discovered the trailer had a false floor concealing the marijuana. The driver and trailer were transported to the Presidio Border Patrol Station where agents assisted in removing the marijuana from the false floor.
