The Howe Police Department arrested a Grayson County couple early Monday morning after a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 75 that netted nearly ten pounds of marijuana and more than $3,000 in retail merchandise that is presumed to have been stolen.
Ricardo Lara, 33, of Denison, and 25-year-old Karla Covarrubias-Huerta of Sherman were booked into the Grayson County Jail for Delivery of Marijuana (5 to 50 pounds) and Tampering with Physical Evidence.
The arrests resulted from a traffic stop during which the occupants of the vehicle driven by Lara attempted to discard the marijuana from their moving vehicle.
Howe officers are working with retail establishments to determine the origin of the merchandise found in the vehicle to determine if additional charges are warranted.
The officer was Howe officer Brando Ozuna. Van Alstyne Police Officer Colton Raper assisted.
