A former investigator with the Waller County District Attorney’s Office has been found guilty of attempted possession with intent to distribute heroin and money laundering, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas announced.
A federal jury found that Mohammed “Alex” Ahmed Kassem, 49, of Houston used his marked police vehicle to transport “sham” heroin and drug cartel money between Louisiana, Houston, and San Antonio on three separate occasions for which he was paid $31,000, the DOJ said on Tuesday. Waller County sits about 60 miles northwest of Houston.
