On June 23, a DPS Trooper pulled over a black 2017 GMC Acadia on Interstate 35 in Laredo due to a traffic violation. During the search of the vehicle, the trooper found three bundles of currency. Two bundles were located inside a purse and another was found inside a backpack. The total sum discovered amounted to $43,760.
