A resident of Clifton, Virginia was arrested in Jefferson County Texas after police found nearly $250,000 worth of heroin in his car. Police had initially just stopped the car for a minor traffic violation. During routine conversation with the police officer, the suspect said that he was only in Texas for a brief time and that he had visited an elderly friend in the hospital. The suspect said he was heading back to Virginia after the visit. When asked what hospital his friend was in, the man said “Texas Childrens.”
Police obviously thought that was an answer only a truly scared person would make. They then asked for permission to search his car, which the driver granted. Upon searching, the police found three kilos worth $250k.
