Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
On Friday, October 23, 2020, a Rankin County Interdiction Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a Ford SUV on Interstate 20 for a traffic violation. After speaking with the driver, the deputy learned that the driver possessed a marijuana vape pen. A search of the vehicle revealed over 11 pounds of cocaine hidden within a compartment of the vehicle. The driver, GERMAN CAMPOS-VASQUEZ was placed under arrest for trafficking and transported to the Rankin County Jail.
District Attorney John “Bubba” Bramlett will bring CAMPOS-VASQUEZ before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel for an initial appearance. No bond has been set at this time.
The street value of the cocaine is estimated at $200,000.

I hope you aren't saying that he is a German. "German" in Spanish is a given name, not a nationality.
Really?
Most people don’t stay in MS unless they were born here or marry someone from here.
I guess there is a third category, if they are stupid enough to drive through Rankin County with enough drugs to get a life sentence in Parchman.
Is that a coronavirus bat stamped in the cocaine for Halloween?
If Mississippians are foolish enough to vote for either of the pro-Marijuana laws currently up for vote, will "vape pens" still constitute Probable Cause for searches?
Interesting stamp.
I am guessing Kingfish is one of those Americans who does not possess a passport?
5:34 is correct.......it's a name. and its pronounced HERR-MON.
must be the batman cartel from the imprint on that brick of coke.
permit me to speculate what happened here. the drug interdiction profilers , while parked in the median of i-20 , see a east bound vehicle with texas tags oncoming. texan is a 2 tag state. you got one on the front and another on the rear. they see its being operated by a hispanic and they fall in behind the profiled vehicle. as soon as the profiled driver commits an act of ''careless driving'', they hit the blue lights. after the stop the driver always gives verbal permission to search the car. and presto , bingo , they got a bust. thats how it happens folks. its so easy even a rankin county cop can do it.
always remember people , all that stuff is here because of the insatiable demand for it by your fellow citizens here in the good ole U S of A.
we need to get rid go the bald eagle as our national symbol and replace it with a junkie, cause thats what this country has turned into, a nation of stinking junkies.
@9:17 PM - thank you. KF needs to travel more, or maybe learn a romance language, such as Spanish.
Those are five 1-kilo bricks = 2.2 lbs x 5 = 11 pounds of blow.
9:33. What is your point? All those things are a pretty good indicator of the typical doper driving through Mississippi. No one will overdose on it now.
‘‘Tis more likely that a law enforcement source such as HIDTA/DEA had intel from a cooperating source that German would be leaving on a certain time and date driving this particular vehicle with this license number. The agents then surveillance the oncoming traffic via automatic license plate readers and once he was detected, THAT is when they look for probable cause to pull him over for a minor traffic violation.Why else do you think the black SUV’s are parked in the median of the Interstate with the cameras on their front bumper. They are scanning for those license plates.
When you step into the voting booth to vote to legalize any kind of marijuana for any purpose please keep this poor fellow in mind. The stuff makes you stupid. Just that simple. Why else would he had a vape device in sight while while transporting the dread pixie dust?
Do not tell me it's no more harmful than booze. Winston Churchill was a hopeless lush. Somehow or the other he ran a war, conned FDR into us winning it for him/them, and wrote a pair of multi-volume histories when it was all over. All the while he knocked back a dollop or two of that good Armenian Cognac -- Ararat -- every morning in the bathtub for breakfast.
I'm no brandy drinker but I gotta tell you the stuff ain't half bad.
That doesn’t appear to be the cocaine you need, but the cocaine you deserve.
Astute residents of the metro understand why they don't make these busts in the judicial wasteland that is Hinds County.
I thought the headline was funny.
I'm more concerned that some on here actually think KF thinks this guy's nationality is German. Seriously?
Whatever happened to Mayor Melton's dealer buddy, Batman?
Idiots; the headline is a joke. Don't flatter yourself for knowing this Hispanic name... you're the one who is two steps behind KF. Jeesh
Let me see, took French, a year of Latin, some short courses in Spanish, nope I might not have any idea on how to pronounce his name or the roots of it.
Or as I am often so want to do, I might be having some fun with you guys in the headlines.
And as your loyal readers are often inclined to do...have some fun with KF. It's all good.
Just keep them on their/our toes KF.
Attn all Hispanics transporting drugs through Rankin county on the interstate. You will be stopped. The excuse for the stop may be “your tire pressure might be a little low” or some other lame reason. Of course the next thing you noticed is that drug dog going crazy. You have been warned. Try the Greenville on Natchez route.
There are some Mo-Rons that read this blog. It was a joke, "most" anyone can see that.
Whoever posted about DEA informants is correct. They aren't pulling over every Hispanic with Texas tags over on I-20, just the ones with drugs. It's funny how often they get it correct.
Been a long time since I had a bump. What does it cost these days?
One thing that is not often mentioned is the disparity between stops where drugs are confiscated and stops where cash is confiscated. There is speculation that LEO wait for the cash runs, so they get a piece of the forfeiture money. But doing that means they are letting drugs hit the street. It is a sign of the integrity of our law enforcement that they are getting the drugs instead of the cash, because this means they are getting the dope off the streets.
These relatively small bust are a drop in the bucket of the overall drug trade, but it is something.
The Madison and Madison County PoPo are seriously jealous of the Niknar PoPo. Madison guys are now parked in the 55 North median day and night, just to look important. Not a damned one of 'em got shit for sense about how to spot or pull over a dope mule, but they're texting mom that they're in a secret operation and tellin' her to have roast and gravy ready for supper. Oh..and biscuits.
