Game wardens catch local fishermen with meth, marijuana

LIMESTONE COUNTY, Texas (KWTX) – Two Central Texas game wardens on routine patrol below the Lake Mexia spillway caught several fishermen with more than just fish.

The game wardens “observed drug paraphernalia near the fishing gear and discovered the subjects to be in possession of methamphetamine and marijuana,” the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.

The fishermen were taken to the Limestone County Jail with assistance from a Limestone County deputy and a Department of Public Safety trooper, authorities said.

Michael David Raue, Jr., 35, and Thomas Dewayne Raue, 32, remained in custody Monday charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Their bonds were set at $7,500 each.
