The Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Office (NCSO) doesn't just manage the jail. They also have a big part in keeping drugs and crime off the streets of the entire county and the City of Nacogdoches.

According to NCSO deputies pulled over two separate vehicles on two separate days, both with occupants from the Michigan area, and both with large similar quantities of cocaine.

During the first stop deputies smelled marijuana and the occupant admitted to having smoked it and having it in the vehicle. They then used that probable cause to initiate a search of the car.

Inside they found two plastic-wrapped bundles of powder that tested positive for cocaine with a combined weight of 5.2 lbs. Then on Tuesday morning in the same part of the loop, the same thing happened again.

This time there were also two packages, but with a combined weight of 4.7 lbs. One might conclude that Nacogdoches is a hot spot for drugs coming into the country and going to all points North.
