When I first heard that some gunmen ambushed a tanker truck of marijuana and killed the driver, I didn't blink. It's a regular occurrence on ExxonMobil and El Paso E&P leases around here. But, then I realized it happened in Houston and, well, that did seem newsworthy.
"Shortly before the marijuana delivery was to be made Monday, three SUVs carrying alleged Zetas Cartel gunmen seemingly came out of nowhere and cut off the tanker truck as it rumbled through northwestern Harris County, sources told the Houston Chronicle."
Another news source reported the tanker had come straight out of the Rio Grande Valley. That guy probably thought he was out of the woods. He had made it through the ExxonMobil AMI without getting ambushed, kidnapped, murdered. (or whatever misfortune can befall those that cross the vortex of evil known as a RRC District #4 ExxonMobil lease) Then, just when he let his guard down and was cruising thru Houston, thinking he was scott-free..... those ruthless and fierce Zetas take him down. Pobrecito!

That was a sting operation, and the driver was working with the police http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local_news/article/Zetas-blamed-for-shootout-in-Houston-2283252.php (The SA article came up first, it was the same in the Houston paper, as they share staff)
So they say....If so, looks like someone let the cat out of the bag.
