LAS CRUCES, N.M. —
A federal magistrate in Las Cruces denied bond Wednesday for Gilbert Espinoza on a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
A criminal complaint said Border Patrol agents who stopped him Saturday on Interstate 25 found 113 pounds of marijuana in the gas tank.
Espinoza was turned over to Drug Enforcement Administration agents.
Luna County Sheriff Raymond Cobos said Espinoza is Columbus Mayor Eddie Espinoza's brother.
Eddie Espinoza was among a dozen people accused by federal authorities of participating in a scheme to illegally buy guns in the U.S. and smuggle them to Mexico. The Columbus police chief and a village trustee also are among those facing federal charges.
