BAYTOWN - On December 22, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. on a quiet afternoon, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) seized a large synthetic marijuana cigar this afternoon during a Harris County traffic stop. The TxDPS unit on the scene called for backup but the nearest backup was 25-miles from the officer on the scene.

After the Trooper interviewed the driver and passenger, a DPS canine alerted to the presence of drugs in the vehicle. A Baytown Police Officer assisted with the search of the vehicle, which led to officers locating synthetic marijuana in the passenger’s possession."
Horacio Estala, 29, of Manvel, was identified as the passenger and cited for a misdemeanor, and released from the scene.
