Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following press release:
Rankin County Drug Interdiction Task Force Deputy Seizes 17 Pounds of Cocaine on I-20
On Wednesday, January 07, 2015 at approximately 4:00 p.m., A Rankin County drug interdiction task force deputy made traffic stop on a red Chevrolet pickup for a traffic violation on Interstate 20 eastbound near mile marker 62. During the traffic stop the deputy suspected the vehicle was carrying drugs/contraband. The vehicle was taken to the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office shop where a search revealed approximately 17 pounds of cocaine hidden in the vehicle. The driver, identified as Adrian ROJAS-JAIMES was transported to the Rankin County Jail and charged with Possession of Cocaine. District Attorney Michael Guest will bring Adrian ROJAS-JAIMES before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel for an initial appearance. The wholesale value of the cocaine is estimated to be approximately $250,000 dollars. Cocaine at the street level is sold for around $100.00 per gram, so the retail value is over $700,000. The Flowood Police Department and the Mississippi Highway Patrol assisted with the case.

Soon, his cousins will soon have amnesty and can take his place on this route. But good work by the interdiction team, nonetheless.
Good job guys. Thanks for all you do.
One of the benefits of NAFTA.
Have always wondered how Rankin County is (seemingly) able to randomly pull over these vehicles loaded with drugs.
Note to Sheriff: Set up on the westbound side. The drugs are going east. The cash is going west.
It is not random. These guys are tracked by the DEA and they decide whee they want them to be taken down. Rankin County law enforcement works well with the DEA, so they get the take downs.
It's called " T Capping". You sit by the Interstate and you pull over everything with a Texas tag being driven by a Hispanic.

They're only doing the jobs American drug-runners refuse to do :-)
Wrong 8:57...you're watching too much TV....
I'm curious how dope runners can be so stupid. If you have a Texas plate your gonna get lit up and searched.
If you think people only run drugs in TX cars you've lost your mind.
