A federal agency finds cocaine and weapons at a home in south Laredo.
According to our sources, the home belongs to a woman who works for the Intel Division with Laredo P.D.
According to reports, U.S. Marshals were looking for a suspect on felony charges in the 35 hundred block of Paradise.
Instead they found cocaine and eight rifles outside of the home.
24-year-old Severiano Contreras Jr. was the man in possession of 10 grams of cocaine and was charged with possession.
As for the guns, Contreras was not charged because according to reports he had permits for each one of them.
The investigation is still ongoing as officers are looking into weather or not the weapon permits are legitimate.
The home where all the drugs and weapons were found, and Contreras was arrested, is the home of an employee in the Intel Department who is a crime analyst at the Laredo Police Department.
Our sources tell Pro 8 News that Contreras is related to the employee.
We're also told that she was home at the time of the bust, but she was not arrested.
" At this particular time we can't confirm or deny, only because there is still an open and ongoing investigation into this case. There’s different elements in it, that in conclusion that there is another agency involved." Says Joe Baeza.
Officials tell us an arrest warrant for the employee was not signed by a judge because there was not enough evidence to link her to the drugs and weapons.

Nothing will be done, Do you all remember the driveby shooting also on the south side where the shooter was shot back by the home owners well nothing has been done or will be done. At least go to court remember LPD found high caliber weapons and the shooter was flown to SA.I guess nothing will be done cause we live in Laredo.

Did you hear el chupacabras (pio) thats what we call him in around here, explanation. What is that? Just recently the chief placed two officers accussed by the feds of drug running and for months they were placed on administrative duties in the identification division a very very hihly sensative section.

Ridiculous. That department has access to so much information, and now every single officer is in danger. WTH has happened to our department???

city manager needs to replace the chief even if his is his kin.the employee should be fired no ifs and or butts about it!

Why do we have a police chief that is always hiding? If you have DTV you get San Antonio news, the police chief there is always visible and does the Q&A for the press, here all we have is the dweeb that pretends to know what he is talking about.

What kind of rifles were found? As far as I know you only need a permit for class three weapons eg. fully automatic.
43751054Where's WALDO said on Saturday, May 22 at 12:23 AM
As usual, it hits the fan and Chief Waldo Maldonado is nowhere to be found. I heard he is out of town again. How typical.
43738914Say What? said on Saturday, May 22 at 12:20 AM
Chief Maldonado and Navarro assigned her to the Intel Unit where she had access to sensitive information. Because of their poor judgement, they put officers lives in danger. What!?! Is this the man the Mayor wants to head the Intel Fusion Center? Man, I would rethink that one Raulito.
