Last Update: 7:57 am

HIDALGO - Two suspects were arrested last week for trying to take a man into Mexico in the trunk of a car. Police say it all stemmed from a lost load of marijuana. The two men were allegedly trying to find out what happened to the load.

Sheriff's deputies now confirm that both men are members of the Gulf Cartel.

Juan Perales Veloz, 35, is being held on $75,000 bond for aggravated kidnapping; 27-year-old Alberto Ibarra was charged with both aggravated kidnapping and possession of a controlled substance. His bonds totaled $95,000.
