The Texas Department of Public Safety netted its second quarter-ton cocaine bust in as many days Friday, confiscating 510 pounds of cocaine in a refrigerated truck, officials said. Troopers from the license and weight division and the agency's narcotics unit found 174 cellophane-wrapped bundles of cocaine among a load of tomatoes, pineapples and bananas, Vinger said.
Authorities believe the shipment was headed from McAllen to Chicago.
