HIDALGO — A man is facing state charges after authorities arrested him at the McAllen-Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge with several weapons hidden in the gas tank of his pickup.

Ledislao Cuellar, 47, was arrested Monday after Hidalgo Police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents found one AR-15 and 10 AK-47 assault rifles — as well as several magazines — in his vehicle, according to ICE.

The weapons were hidden in the gas tank of a Ford F-150 pickup. Cuellar was charged with one count of firearms smuggling in state court after federal prosecutors declined the case.
