CAMERON, Texas (KBTX) - Two former Milam County Jail employees and a third person are facing charges after an investigation into THC vapes found inside the Milam County Jail, according to the Milam County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said it began investigating over the weekend after THC vapes were located inside the jail. After the investigation, jail employees Shane Moore and Daniel Cardoza were arrested.
Both are charged with Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity, a first-degree felony, the sheriff’s office said. Cardoza is also charged with Delivery of a Controlled Substance, Penalty Group 2, Less Than 1 Gram, a state jail felony.
Bond for Moore is set at $20,000. Bond for Cardoza is set at $20,000 on each charge, according to the release.
A third person, identified as Martin Trevino, was arrested by the Temple Police Department on charges of Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity and Possession of Marijuana, the sheriff’s office said.
