Los Fresnos family caught with 26 pounds of cocaine at Sarita checkpoint
A federal complaint against a Los Fresnos woman alleges that she instructed two of her children to tape bundles of cocaine to their bodies.
Now, Isaura Guerrero De Hurtado, who was born in 1978, and her children, Yazmin Hurtado, who was born in 2002, and Daniel Hurtado, who was born in 2006, are charged with knowingly and intentionally possessing and conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute a little more than 26 pounds of cocaine.
They were arrested Tuesday after arriving at the Border Patrol checkpoint in Sarita at approximately 11:15 a.m.
The complaint said that Border Patrol agents removed the trio from their white Toyota Tundra “during a consensual secondary inspection.”
During a patdown, agents found two bundles taped to Daniel Hurtado’s body, four bundles taped to Yazmin Hurtado’s body and four bundles taped to Isaura Yazmin Guerrero De Hurtado’s body, according to the complaint.
During an interview, Isaura Yazmin Guerrero De Hurtado said she was transporting cocaine for financial gain “and further admitted to instructing her children … to tape the bundles of narcotics to their bodies.”
The mother and her children made a first appearance in Brownsville federal court on Wednesday where a judge ordered them temporarily held without bond pending further court proceedings, records show.
