Columbus mayor’s brother facing drug charges

The Town of Columbus, N.M.

I’ve already written much about the firearms trafficking charges against the Columbus mayor and others. Now Mayor Eddie Espinosa’s brother is facing drug charges.

From The Associated Press:

“A federal magistrate in Las Cruces denied bond Wednesday for Gilbert Espinoza on a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

“A criminal complaint says Border Patrol agents who stopped him Saturday on Interstate 25 found 113 pounds of marijuana in the gas tank. Espinoza was turned over to Drug Enforcement Administration agents.”
