Drug Bust in Navasota Yields 25 Pounds of Marijuana

UPDATE 07/30/26 8:30pm: Today Navasota Police attempted to make a traffic stop on a Chevrolet Malibu in the 6900 block of State Highway 6 after an officer observed multiple traffic violations. The driver pulled into the Circle T Truck Stop at 10200 block of State Highway 6, where the officer detected the smell of raw marijuana and observed a small amount of marijuana residue in plain sight. The officer performed a probable cause search of the vehicle and found a suitcase containing multiple packages of marijuana. The combined weight of the marijuana was approximately 25.86 pounds. 34-year-old James Oliver III, of Cypress, Texas, was arrested and charged with Possession of Marijuana, 5 Pounds or More but Less Than 50 Pounds, a third-degree felony. A 34-year-old man named James Lee Oliver III, with addresses in Houston, Katy, and Cypress has been in the Brazos County Jail seven times since 2016 with charges of theft (between $2,500-$30,000), possession of marijuana (4oz-5lbs), and unlawful carrying of a weapon.   ORIGINAL STORY: Details are limited, but we received the following images from a WTAW listener on Thursday. You can see officers carrying what looks like a hard-sided suitcase filled with what appear to be bags of drugs. You can later see those same bags stacked on the hood of one of Navasota PD’s vehicles. This appears to have taken place in the parking lot of the Circle T Truck Stop on the Highway 6 Frontage Road at Highway 105 East.
