He added that a search of the vehicle turned up a crystal-line substance that field-test-ed positive for methamphetamines. Other items of drug paraphernalia were present in the vehicle, and Moucheron admitted to the deputies that the meth and items of paraphernalia were his.

He was taken into custody and transported to the Tyler County Jail, where he was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance for the meth and was found to have a warrant out of Tyler County for engaging in organized criminal activity. Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace Tina Self set Moucheron’s bond at $30,000. Moucheron has  since bonded out of jail, ac- cording to jail records.
