BREWSTER COUNTY, Texas — Brewster County Sheriff Deputies arrested the driver of a vehicle that was carrying over 24.5 pounds of cocaine on June 23. 

Deputies conducted a traffic stop on a 2013 Ford Explorer West of Alpine. During the stop, one of the BCSO K9s, Latek, conducted a free air sniff of the vehicle. Latek detected a smell of narcotic odor and this led to a search where hidden compartments were found with the cocaine. 

The driver, Ana Cristina Alarcon Rios, was taken into custody and the investigation is still ongoing.
