Officers: Guns, drugs found

A 29-year-old man is in the Travis County Jail after being arrested with nearly 3 pounds of cocaine and two handguns, according to an arrest affidavit.

Ramon Zarate is charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and theft of a firearm, both felonies. His bail was set at $110,000.

Hays County deputies, working with Travis County sheriff officers, served a warrant at 4 a.m. Friday at an apartment in the 1800 block of East Stassney Lane.

Zarate told investigators that he had purchased the cocaine in Mexico for $22,000, the affidavit said. Deputies confiscated a stolen .38-caliber revolver and a .380-caliber semiautomatic handgun, the affidavit said.
