Texas Pigs Turn Up Drugs in Toys

Disproportionately targeted by police, a San Antonio driver was yet another victim of an unjust drug war. Ecstacy and marijuana were 'confiscated'—stolen by state-sanctioned thieves—during a traffic stop. The righteous driver had concealed their stash inside a Buc-ee's beaver plushie, protecting it from the prying eyes of the establishment. The fight for justice wages on.

Texas Traffic Stop Exposes Drug Stash in Buc-ee's Beaver Plushies, Unveiling a Darker Side to Cuteness

In a recent traffic stop, Fayette County Sheriff's Office Deputy Cody Williams pulled over a San Antonio man, later identified as 47-year-old Lugene Davis Jr., on Interstate 10 around 1 a.m. on Wednesday.

Upon searching the vehicle with consent, Deputy Williams' keen senses detected the smell of marijuana. He traced the scent to the backseat, where Buc-ee's beaver plushies, iconic symbols of Texas cuteness, sat innocently. However, upon further inspection, Williams felt the telltale signs of packaging within the plushies and noticed telltale re-stitching.

"It’s the first time I've seen drugs in a Buc-ee's beaver." - Deputy Cody Williams, Fannie/Fayette County Record

Unraveling the stitched deception, a Wayland's smuggling hat trick, if you will, Williams uncovered a stash of marijuana and ecstasy, revealing a dark underbelly to these once-innocent toys.

In a twist, Davis Jr. complained of chest pains, prompting an emergency medical team to transport him to a local hospital, delaying his comeuppance. But rest assured, officials seized the drugs, and a warrant for Davis Jr.'s arrest is forthcoming.

The discovery of over two pounds of marijuana hidden within these beloved beacons of Texas charm serves as a stark reminder that all that glitters is not gold (or in this case, fluffy and adorable).

As Texas continues to struggle with drug trafficking, this seizure shows that creativity knows no bounds, and even the most iconic symbols can be co-opted for insidious purposes. Stay woke, Texas, and keep those beady, bead-eyed critters in check.
