Bryan Man’s Sixth Arrest In 18 Months Charges Him With Possessing 300 THC Vape Pens

A Bryan man’s sixth arrest since February 2022 charges him with possessing 300 vape pens containing what a Brazos County sheriff’s arrest report says is a “large amount” of THC. A sheriff’s spokesman tells WTAW News the estimated street value of the combined 600 grams of THC is $24,000 dollars. The arrest report says a deputy stopped the car driven by 19 year old Steven Lopez for speeding and a missing taillight cover. After Lopez was seen shaking so bad that he could not make a phone call and after Lopez denied consent to search his car, the Brazos County deputy received assistance for a K-9 from Robertson County. After the K-9 deputy detected narcotics, the car was searched. That led to finding four large unopened boxes with the THC vape pens and $985 dollars in cash. Online court records say Lopez is accused of violating probation following a drug conviction in 2022, he is also awaiting two trials on more drug charges in 2022 and 2023, and he is awaiting a third trial on three counts of sexual assault of a child that took place in 2022 and 2023. Online jail records show bond has increased in the district court cases. Lopez remains jailed as of August 14th on bonds totaling $602,000 dollars.
