Posted Saturday, July 19 – Two Beeville men were arrested on drug possession charges early Wednesday after deputies found a quantity of heroin in a 1999 Ford Explorer in Skidmore.
Deputy Capt. Dan Caddell said Deputy Brandon Burdick was patrolling on U.S. Highway 181 when he stopped the northbound vehicle at about 12:49 a.m.
Caddell identified the driver as Donny Dee Rodriguez and the passenger as John Bradford Abel. Caddell said both men were 28 years old. Sgt. Craig Gisler assisted in the arrest and subsequent investigation, during which deputies found between two and four grams of heroin in the vehicle.
Both men were charged with possession of a controlled substance, heroin, 1-4 grams. The offense is a third degree felony punishable by a prison term of from two to ten years and a fine of as much as $10,000 if they are convicted.
Officials at the Bee County Jail said later Wednesday that bond had been set at $2,000 for Rodriguez and at $3,000 for Abel.
