Some Prison Time For A College Station Man Who Had A Shrine To The Patron Saint Of Drug Traffickers

A Houston man will spend at least four months in prison after College Station police find in his home two years ago, what was described as a shrine to the patron saint of drug traffickers. Online records show 24 year old David Acosta and the Brazos County district attorney’s office reached a plea agreement on felony possession of marijuana. Acosta could be released from a ten year prison sentence after serving 120 days of what is called shock probation. A WTAW News story at the time of Acosta’s arrest referred to his arrest report from March of 2024, saying a shrine to Jesus Malverde included money offerings and pre rolled marijuana blunts. Officers seized 11 and a half pounds of marijuana, enough THC in various forms to fill at least 300 vape pens, almost $3,200 dollars in cash, and two handguns.
