Two Chinese nationals arrested after being stopped on I-20 with $250,000 in gold bars will not face money laundering charges and have been turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Van Zandt County District Attorney said Monday. 

A Wills Point police officer arrested Weijian Chen, 25, and Wenqiang Lin, 46, in early August after he pulled over the Chevy sedan the men were driving for following another vehicle too closely, arrest documents showed.

Curry said she expects her office will use most of its share to purchase new vehicles for lawyers and investigators on the team.

"For a small county like ours, it’s a big, big relief for the taxpayers," she said. "Even if I can’t say exactly what [crime]  it was, why should they be able to profit off of it? Why should it not go back into to fighting crime in our communities?"
