COLLEGE STATION (February 9, 2012)—Guadalupe County Judge Mike Wiggins, 58, was charged with possession of marijuana less than 2 ounces after he was arrested in his room at a hotel in College Station, where he was attending an annual meeting of county judges and commissioners.

Police reports show Wiggins was attending the conference at the Hilton Hotel when a bellman reported that he smelled what seemed to be burning marijuana on the fifth floor Monday night.

Security officers traced the smell to the room where Wiggins was staying.

Wiggins consented to a search, which turned up a grinder, rolling papers and a plastic bag of what appeared to be marijuana, police said.

Wiggins was released after posting $3,000 bond.

He told the Seguin Gazette-Enterprise there was nothing he could deny and said he'd have more to say on Friday.

"It is what it is," he said.

Wiggins is a retired Texas Department of Public Safety sergeant who was elected county judge in Guadalupe County after winning a Republican runoff election in April 2006, according to a biography on the county’s website.
