Jesus Rafael Larrazolo, who resigned from the Department of Public Safety after his Nov. 21 arrest, remained in custody following Wednesday's hearing.Court documents indicate Larrazolo claimed he was forced by threats to pick up the drugs, more than 60 pounds of cocaine, in Brownsville. He was charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine.Defense attorney Domingo Garza told KGBT-TV that the 35-year-old ex-lawman agreed to surrender his passport, and other restrictions, as a condition of release. A lower bond of $100,000, with 10 percent down, was sought.But federal authorities argued for a pay-in-full higher bond, as two FBI agents testified they received information that Larrazolo, if freed, might flee to Mexico.
