A mixed martial arts promoter is among those facing drug charges in Texas, according to a Breitbart.com report. Dimas De Leon, one of the owners and promoters of South Texas Fighting Championships, was arrested in March, the report said, touching off a series of events that exposed a vast scheme to steal drugs from smugglers near the Mexican border.
Fifteen defendants -- several of them law enforcement officials -- have been accused and face charges related to 11 counts of drug possession and conspiracy. According to the report, Homeland Security Investigations since 2013 had been looking into a drug trafficking organization that would prompt law enforcement officials to seize drugs in order to steal from other traffickers.
