Kids Turn In Drug Dealer

The Bryan-College Station Eagle reported today about some dutiful grade school kids in Mission, Texas.

Police say elementary school students tipped them off to an ice cream truck driver who was apparently selling $5 and $10 bags of marijuana from the truck. Most customers were in the third, fourth, and fifth grades.

"It's a scary thought, but that's the info we received," Mission police Chief Leo Longoria said.

Raymundo Flores, a 40-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession of marijuana. He was transported to the Hidalgo County Jail after a judge set bail at $30,000. His case will likely be turned over to federal immigration officials, Assistant police Chief Robert Dominguez said.

While police didn't witness any sales, a drug-sniffing dog did help them find packets of marijuana alongside the more traditional frozen treats. (emphasis added)

Flores is a real scumbag, targeting such young kids. And I'm shocked--shocked!--to find out he broke the law getting into Texas before he started breaking the law selling drugs.

He needs to serve a good, long prison sentence before he gets turned over to immigration officials. I'd hate to see such a bottom-feeding low-life get deported without facing the justice system first.

And those kids who turned him in deserve to receive an award.
