⏱ 3 min read

A ruthless narcotics kingpin has been brought to justice on Kickapoo Tribal Land. Rolando Oyervides Jr., 40, was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for trafficking massive amounts of methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana on the reservation.

According to court documents, Oyervides Jr. had been evading law enforcement for years, selling narcotics out of various Eagle Pass residences with children present and using females as mules to traffic three to four ounces of narcotics per person, three to four times a week.

On January 29, 2020, DEA and HSI agents executed a search warrant at an Eagle Pass residence, where they encountered Oyervides Jr. and two other individuals, including a juvenile. Agents seized marijuana, methamphetamine, scales, and a drug ledger, as well as two .380 caliber semi-automatic pistols, nearly 200 rounds of .380 ammunition, and three 12-gauge shotgun shells.

Oyervides Jr. was indicted on charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime. He pleaded guilty to the first two counts and was found guilty of the third in a bench trial.
