Monica Aguirre charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine

Monica Aguirre shuffled her feet as she made her way to the lectern to address U.S. District Judge Felix Recio.During the hearing, Aguirre's attorney, Noe Garza, asked Recio to give his client time to clear pending judicial matters. The matters include a pending arrest warrant for failure to appear in Cameron County Court-at-Law No. 3 and various unpaid traffic tickets in Los Fresnos.Because of the pending judicial matters, Recio denied bond and said, "There is no condition or combination of conditions that would reasonably assure the defendant's appearance at further court proceedings."Aguirre, charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine, was arrested March 4 as she allegedly tried to cross the B&M International Bridge driving a red Jeep with 15.35 kilograms of cocaine hidden in a secret compartment.
Her two infant sons accompanied Aguirre. The children were released to the custody of a relative.
