El Paso, Texas - On Wednesday, November 10, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office reported that three suspects were arrested on Tuesday night at about 10:00 p.m. when deputies discovered they were transporting at least 250 pounds of marijuana. Those arrested were identified as Jesús Omar Atondo, 26, from Zacatecas and known singer for the Jerezana Band de Don Nicho Ayala originally from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, but four months ago the band members moved to El Paso. Also arrested along with Atondo were José Orlando Ramos, 29, and Javier Contreras Rodríguez, 26. Both, Ramos and Contreras are from the U.S.
In total, deputies say they found 237 packages of marijuana in several boxes in the back of a black 2008 Jeep Cherokee and a loaded Berreta .9mm under the drivers seat.
Atondo, the driver and the other suspects were stopped in a routine stop in the east side of a neighborhood in El Paso City and they became nervous.
All the suspects are expected to be charged with drug trafficking and transporting with intent to distribute large quantities of marijuana. Bail bond was set at $100,000 for each of the suspects, according to the El Paso Sheriff's Office.
