Texas Man Arrested for Hiding Drugs in Stuffed Animals from Buc-ees!
Texans love their Buc-ees, and for good reason: the gas stations are known for their clean bathrooms, tasty snacks, and adorable plush toys. However, not everyone uses Buc-ee’s toys for cuddling. In a bizarre twist, a man was recently caught trying to smuggle drugs using these very plush toys.
The Incident
On July 31st, Fayette County deputies were conducting a routine traffic stop on Interstate 10 westbound near mile marker 664. What started as a simple check turned into a significant drug bust. Around 1:10 a.m., Deputy Cody Williams pulled over 47-year-old Lugene Davis Jr. from San Antonio.
What began as a standard traffic stop quickly took a surprising turn. During a vehicle search, Deputy Williams detected a strong smell of marijuana. When he looked in the back seat, he noticed several Buc-ee’s beaver plushies that appeared to have been recently re-stitched.
Discovery of Drugs
Deputy Williams’s instincts told him something was off. He examined the plush toys more closely and discovered that they were hiding something. Upon opening the stuffed animals, he found over two pounds of marijuana and a stash of ecstasy pills. It was clear that the plush toys had been used to conceal the drugs.

Arrest and Charges
After the discovery, Davis complained of chest pains and was taken to a local hospital. Despite the medical emergency, he was arrested and now faces charges related to drug possession and distribution.
This unusual case highlights the lengths to which individuals will go to smuggle narcotics. From hiding drugs in everyday items like stuffed animals to employing more advanced concealment techniques, the methods used to evade law enforcement are continually evolving. However, authorities remain vigilant and adaptive, always on the lookout for new smuggling tactics.
