Felix F. Castro, 21, of Mission, Texas, was found asleep in his vehicle at the Petro Shopping Center in New Paris, Ohio, just over the Ohio/Indiana state line.
When Preble County sheriff's deputies attempted to check on his welfare, Castro was found to be excessively nervous, according to a news release from Preble County Sheriff Mike Simpson.
Castro told the deputies he was from Texas and was traveling through Ohio to find work.
A K-9 unit from the Indiana State Police was called to the scene and alerted to the presence of drugs in the vehicle. A probable cause search found a false compartment in the rocker panel. In there, deputies found about a kilogram of heroin, the release said.

He doesn't look too worried, does he?
"No problemo.."
He will be back on the street shortly, and he knows it.
With a paltry $200,000 cash bond, don't expect to see him around for court.
How many people do you know with 200k cash to put up for a 21yo? Kilo of heroin is worth about $50k. He was just a courier.
It's a family thing.
