'Hey Poncho!' - Cocaine-Carrying Texas Dem Turns Himself In

Follow up to this story from a few days ago.

[Free Beacon] Texas Democratic state representative Alfonso "Poncho" Nevárez turned himself in Thursday after a video surveillance camera captured him dropping a cocaine-filled bag at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

"I do not have anyone to blame but myself," he said in a statement. "I accept this because it is true, and it will help me get better."

Nevárez was arrested and released with bond set at $10,000, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

Surveillance footage from Sept. 6 revealed that he had dropped "a white paper object" as he walked out of the airport. Two Texas Department of Transportation employees found the envelope, and a later investigation determined that it contained cocaine.

Nevárez, who announced earlier this month that he would not seek reelection, confirmed the news on Thursday.

"In a weird way I am grateful. Grief and addiction were consuming me, but oddly enough, I feel better now than I have in a long time, and I mean that," Nevárez said, adding he would seek treatment for his addiction.

#4 That Democrat cokehead Nevárez
Got caught on a ghat in Benares.
The police asked him, "Why
Have you come here to die?"
"It seemed better than living in Juarez."

#6 The Congressman's stint was aborted
When his felonies, although rather sordid
Caused the political class
To smirk, "Why--alas!
Better deported than snorted" [or reported]
