Breaking: State Rep. Poncho Nevárez was caught on tape at the airport dropping an envelope stuffed with cocaine, according to an affidavit filed by Texas DPS. #txlege bit.ly/34ZRbvX
The document says that the envelope had Nevárez's official House seal and held “four small clear baggies” containing a substance found to include cocaine. #txlege bit.ly/34ZRbvX
According to the affidavit, two Texas Department of Transportation employees found the envelope outside the entrance to an area of Austin's airport used by traveling state officials. #txlege bit.ly/34ZRbvX
Investigators reviewed surveillance tape showing Nevárez exiting the airport, getting into the front passenger seat of a black SUV owned by his chief of staff and "dropping a white paper object," the affidavit says. #txlege bit.ly/34ZRbvX
The document notes that Nevárez is suspected of third-degree felony possession of a controlled substance.

Nevárez chairs the Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee. Earlier this year, he announced he would not seek reelection in 2020.
