Oldham County Woman Busted with $2.7 Million in Drugs

The Texas Department of Public Safety arrested an Oldham County woman after finding over $2.7 million in drugs during a traffic stop.

On May 17th at 4:30 pm, a trooper stopped a speeding Toyota driven by Zaida Valdez and Martha Rosales.

The trooper asked to search the vehicle, where a K-9 unit discovered a cardboard box holding nine bricks of fentanyl and a brick of heroin.

Officials then got a warrant to search the suspects’ phones where they discovered a video showing Valdez telling Rosales to take the blame and to tell the troopers Rosales was the one who packed the car.

Zaida Valdez was arrested at the scene on federal drug charges.

On the street, the heroin would fetch $307,000, while the fentanyl would go for $2.4 million.
