LATEST UPDATE 01-15-08 IN A LINK PROVIDED IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THE PAGE, FROM GRANDMASTER:
From Worldnetdaily.com, “Drug smugglers using official Texas vehicles Despite prosecution by Sutton, fake state trucks still being found.”
Since 2005, federal and state law enforcement officials have known drug smugglers were using fake Texas Department of Transportation vehicles to haul their cargo all over the Lone Star State.
But, more than two years later, and despite a major prosecution of the 11 people involved in the scam by Johnny Sutton of the U.S. attorney’s office – the official known for handing two Border Patrol agents jail sentences of more than 10 years apiece – the fraudulent trucks are still being found carrying their illicit loads.

Can you provide me with the source of the story. For example where it was reported in the new, CNN, FOX, CBS, etc.
I have search the internet for the story and only found it listed here. Texas DOT, DEA.Gov, CNN do not list any reference to this.
I would like to know the same: the source of this story.
I would like to let others know about this story but really don’t want to pass it around in an email until I know all the facts and stuff.
Thank you.
I was wondering where the story’s located, too. Can’t find it. So, my show host, Andrea Shea King, is contacting Dr. Jerome Corsi–a frequent guest of ours–for more info. Check back at my site for an update.
I received this information from a trusted source, a retired police officer from the NW, but have run into the same problem - facts. While the photos seem to back up the article, I cannot verify it’s authenticity and will therefore pull this post.
My apologies folks.
Thx for the feedback. However, I’m still awaiting a response from Dr. Corsi on the matter. There’s a chance he’s heard of it and can help to verify it. Stand by.
Appreciate your interest THIRDWAVEDAVE (great name!). I have some friends in Parlier, CA. are you near that area?
I visited your site and it’s a good one and now that I know you’re there I’ll visit often.
Libnot–I’m in the Sacramento area, Folsom to be exact. Thx for the kind words and for stopping by the site.
I did find the following article than may corroborate the story:
