Man arrested after reporting pot theft
A man was arrested for drug possession after telling authorities that two masked gunmen had stolen 150 pounds of marijuana from his home.
Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home near Penitas in South Texas to find the door kicked in and nearly 15 pounds of pot lying on the floor, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said.
Jose Guadalupe Flores, 35, escaped while the men ransacked the house but returned later and told the deputies he had been wrapping the drugs for shipment when the intruders arrived.
"The guy walked right up and said the drugs were his," Trevino said. "That's not the smartest move."
Flores, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was charged with felony possession of marijuana at an arraignment hearing Monday. Because of his immigration status, Flores will be jailed until his case is heard.
Authorities were still searching for the gunmen.

Shooting at Carl Cox gig
Four people have been shot dead and five wounded at a gig in Caracas, as graphic aftermath footage surfaced on the web yesterday.
Vanesa Nieves, 24, Jose Rodriguez, 42, and Jonathan Gomez, 20, have been identified as the victims of the shooting, while a fourth has yet to be officially confirmed.
Reports speculate that the gun-fight broke out over alleged ecstasy trafficking.
A user of a dance-music community's forum has revealed details of the tragedy and alleges Carl Cox had barely begun his set when sounds similar to 'firecrackers' went off at the party.
The user described the scene in front of him as 'crazy', with people running for their lives.
Known as 'vjrei', the user had the camera running while the event was taking place, saying, "I was in the main [room], doing my visuals and filming the show."
After hearing the commotion, the VJ 'grabbed the camera and started to film everything [that] was going on'.
Onlookers saw the gunman 'keep shooting...then realised [sic] what he did and ran'.
Footage of the incident has since been removed from video-sharing website, YouTube.

Most People Paid $0 for In Rainbows
Some 62 percent of the people who downloaded "In Rainbows" in a four- week period last month opted not to pay the British alt-rockers a cent. But the remaining 38 percent voluntarily paid an average of $6, according to the study by comScore Inc. Radiohead broke with its past practice of releasing its music in CD format and through a major record label when it released its seventh studio album online itself. The biggest wrinkle was the band's decision to let fans pay as much or as little as they wanted to download a copy. The results of the study were drawn from data gathered from a few hundred people who are part of comScore's database of 2 million computer users worldwide. The firm, which has permission to monitor the computer users' online behavior, did not provide a margin of error for the study's results. Between Oct. 1 and Oct. 29, about 1.2 million people visited the Web site the band set up for fans to download the album, comScore said Monday. The research firm did not say how many people in its study actually bought the album. Among U.S. residents, about 40 percent who downloaded the album paid to do so. Their average payment was $8.05, the firm said. Some 36 percent of the fans outside the U.S. who downloaded the album opted to pay; on average, those fans paid $4.64, according to the study. Radiohead's U.S.-based publicist said Tuesday the band had no comment on the study. The online release sent shock waves through the recording industry, with some hailing it as a shrewd move at a time of declining CD sales industrywide and others writing it off as a publicity stunt that amounted to the band giving away its music. The band, which also offered fans the option of buying a lavish box set for about $82, plans to release the album in CD format some time next year.
