PATROL TROOPERS SEIZE $100 MILLION IN DRUGS FOR YEAR
AUSTIN (AP) - Texas Department of Public Safety troopers on traffic patrol
have seized illegal drugs valued at more than $100 million for the third
consecutive year.
The 2002 statistics released Monday by the Traffic Law Enforcement Division
show that DPS troopers intercepted illegal drugs valued at $123.8 million
while on routine patrol duty.
Texas troopers have led the nation in highway drug seizures for the last
several years, the DPS said.

byproduct of our normal patrol activities," said DPS Director Col. Thomas
