Gee, a  fellow can’t even drive around with spending money and he is arrested.

A Katy man is in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service after a serious chunk of change was found inside his tractor trailer along the Texas-Mexico border.

Roman M. Sanchez, 51, of Katy, was driving at about 6:45 a.m. Monday in Hidalgo County, just north of the Mexican border, when he was pulled over by a Texas Highway Patrol trooper for a routine traffic violation.

However, when the trooper inspected the trailer which Sanchez allegedly was towing, he discovered 12 hidden bundles of cash, totaling $1,239,755.

Sanchez was arrested and charged with federal money laundering and taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service.

Just think he almost made it.  If he would have made it  across the border – he would have been a MUCHO millionaire because in Mexico the peso is 15 pesos to one dollar ($1.00).

That is what happens sometimes in life – you miss it by just a split second.
