EAGLE PASS, Texas — Westley Lamar Navarrete, 35, was arrested in the Loma Bonita area of Maverick County on or before Oct. 26, 2026, after a glass pipe was reported concealed on his person during a pat-down by a Maverick County sheriff’s deputy, according to other local news sources.
The deputy was assigned to Operation Stonegarden, according to other local news sources. Stonegarden is a federal program that reimburses the sheriff’s office for deputy overtime, according to the Maverick County Sheriff’s Office. Navarrete was transported to the Tom Bowles Detention Center for processing, according to other local news sources.
Other local news sources attribute the information to Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber by name. Those sources describe the matter as a misdemeanor without stating the specific charge or its degree. No information has been published about what the pipe may have contained.
No bond amount, magistration hearing or court date has been reported. The sheriff’s office has not published a release on the arrest, and The Maverick Times News could not independently confirm the details with the Maverick County Sheriff’s Office.
The allegations are accusations, and Navarrete is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. The arrest comes as county deputies continue working Stonegarden details along the border. A similar detail in September led to two felony charges in a human smuggling case brought by Eagle Pass police.
