EDINBURG, Texas (AP) -- It was a jackpot weekend for U.S. Border Patrol agents in South Texas.
A Border Patrol statement says agents seized nearly 33,000 pounds -- or 16 1/2 tons -- of marijuana over the weekend in South Texas.
The biggest bust came Sunday, when agents and Starr County sheriff's deputies seized more than 3 1/2 tons of pot Sunday at a ranch house north of Garciasville, about 90 miles up the Rio Grande from Brownsville.
The patrol values the 640-plus bales of marijuana at more than $5.7 million.
Another seizure came Friday, when undercover agents seized 1,500 pounds of marijuana with an estimated value of more than $1.2 million from several people loading bundles of marijuana into a pickup truck near Escobares, 100 miles up the Rio Grande from Brownsville.
