gavelAn unsealed federal indictment in the United States District Court in McAllen has revealed that a San Benito man faces multiple drug charges, including intent to distribute as much as 24 kilograms of cocaine.

According to the indictment, which was filed on Dec. 20, 2013, Jose Ignacio Acosta of the mechanic shop Acosta’s and Sons in San Benito allegedly possessed and intended to distribute a controlled substance—described as a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine—from or on about Jan. 1, 2008; Nov. 1-8, 2012; and March 11-13, 2013.
