LAREDO, TEXAS – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Zapata Station assisted Zapata County Sheriff’s Office (ZCSO) in the arrest of 13 individuals found inside a stash house in Zapata, Texas.
The incident occurred on the morning of May 18, when ZCSO requested Service canine assistance for possible narcotics activity at a residence.
