DONNA — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested a member of Los Zetas drug cartel on Wednesday.
CBP officers working southbound enforcement at the bridge encountered a blue GMC pickup truck as it attempted to cross the Rio Grande into Mexico.
A man riding in the truck, identified as Mexican national Jose Eduardo Aleman Chavez, 36, was escorted to secondary inspection for further examination.
A check of the man's name in national criminal databases revealed an arrest warrant for Aleman in Mexico from Interpol on organized crime and theft charges.
Officers identified Aleman as a member of the Zetas and turned him over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents for further investigation.
Federal officials said Aleman would be turned over to Mexican authorities to face criminal charges.
