Four arrested after police find 420 pounds of marijuana in car

Bexar County deputies found 420 pounds of marijuana inside a car Thursday after they stopped its driver for speeding and running stop signs.

According to a news release, the car, driven by Joe Rocha, 44, was stopped near the intersection of Culebra and Grissom Roads and had several duffel bags in the back seat that contained a total of 420 pounds of marijuana.

Lt. Darrell Sanders said evidence deputies found inside Rocha's car led them to a second car that drove through the same area a short time later.

Christian Deanda, 29, Jose Juan Silva, 32, and Alex Chavez-Gasca, 21, all were in the second car and were all arrested on charges of narcotics possession.

Chavez-Gasca was charged only with possession of half a gram of cocaine.

All the men have posted bail and been released from the Bexar County Jail.

Deputies also seized two vehicles in addition to the drugs.
