Oregon State Police reported Thomas Garza, 48, of Talent, and 43-year-old Anthony Balascio of Allen, Texas, remain in the Lane County Jail today. Garza is held on charges of unlawful possession and delivery of a controlled substance, while Balascio is held on an out-of-state warrant. At 1:07 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 5 at exit 192, an OSP trooper pulled over a Nissan SUV driven by Garza for multiple traffic violations, including expired license plates and following too closely. During the stop, the trooper learned Balascio was wanted on a felony warrant out of Texas for possession and manufacture of marijuana. He was arrested. The trooper then searched the vehicle and found the four pounds of marijuana. The estimated value of the drugs is $10,000, OSP said.
