Tip Leads Troopers to an Eagle Pass Hotel Room
Texas Department of Public Safety troopers say a tip led them to a hotel room in Eagle Pass, where a woman inside allowed them to search the room. Once inside, they found a strong smell of marijuana and four people hiding under blankets. It was not exactly the kind of scene that screams normal weekend travel.
Two Gang Members Were Found Inside
Troopers said two of the men were identified as gang members: Joseph Angel Gusman and Daniel Castillo Dionisio, both 21. DPS said both had entered the United States illegally more than once. Dionisio was also wanted in New Orleans on felony warrants for aggravated assault with a gun and armed robbery. He was booked into the Maverick County jail, while the other three immigrants were turned over to Border Patrol.
Two Americans Were Charged in the Stash House Case
DPS said two people in the room, 27-year-old Juella Monet Brown and 26-year-old Starr Ricki Drake, were charged with running the stash house and were also booked into the Maverick County jail. The case fits a familiar border pattern, where hotel rooms become hiding spots and local officers end up cleaning up the mess after somebody else thought discretion was optional.
