A federal grand jury has indicted Juan Carlos Vasquez, a former local bail bondsman, on five counts of cocaine possession and money laundering.
Although the Southern District Court-Dept. of Justice website has not made the charges public, local sources say that Vasquez has been transferred to Houston where some of the acts involved in the charges may have occurred.
Vasquez came under the scrutiny of the Cameron County District Attorney's Office when county authorities cracked down on local bail bond companies who were behind on bonds when a client failed to show up for court. Since then, Vasquez was said to have left the bail bond business.
What makes this case more notable is the fact that his wife is said to work in the office of a local federal judge. She was not been named in the indictments and is not involved in any of the alleged illegal activities.
