(Guadalupe County) — A traffic stop on State Highway 46 has landed a pair of brothers behind bars. Guadalupe County Sheriff’s officials say on Thursday, K-9 officer Rafael Pinilla and his K-9 partner “Lorby” conducted a traffic stop of a Chevrolet Tahoe for traffic offenses at the 1400 block of State Hwy 46 South. They say Deputy Pinilla identified the driver as Christopher Gomez, 29, of Seguin. A passenger and also the driver’s brother Johnny Ray Gomez, 30, was also identified.
According to reports, Pinilla spoke with the driver who did not have a current driver’s license. Pinilla then saw indications of nervous behavior and asked the driver for consent to search the vehicle. Upon giving consent, Christopher admitted to having ice/methamphetamines on his person.
It was then that the deputy seized 3.95 grams of suspected methamphetamine from Christopher’s pocket. A search of the vehicle also revealed 29.50 grams of suspected methamphetamines on the passenger side floor board where Johnny Ray was sitting.
All efforts resulted in Pinilla seizing a total of 33.45 grams of methamphetamine.
Both of the Gomez brothers were booked into the Guadalupe County Jail on charges of manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance. The case will be forwarded to Guadalupe County Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
