Calhoun County Correctional Officer Busted In Texas For Possession

Hector Javier Morales Jr., 30, of Blountstown, was arrested last Wednesday in Brownsville, Texas, after the District Attorney’s Special Operations Group K-9 Unit conducted a consensual search at a relative’s home where he was staying. No one else was named in the arrest report, but sources say the case remains under investigation.

Morales is charged with a second-degree felony of possession of marijuana. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

The street value of this amount of pot is estimated around $180,000.
