A federal judge denied bond for four of five men arrested following a drug raid at a north Brownsville home.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents lead a raid at a home on Topo Chico Circle around 5 p.m. Monday.

Authorities seized 85 bundles with more than 645 pounds of marijuana at the home and arrested five suspects.

Court records released on Tuesday afternoon identified the suspects as:

• Miguel Angel Bueno
• Jesus Ivan Bueno-Benavidez
• Esteban Pecina, III
• Ruben Gonzalez
• Cesar Alejandro Castillo

All four men except Castillo appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Felix Recio in Brownsville on Tuesday morning.

Castillo did not appear in court due to medical reasons.

Judge Recio denied bond for the other four suspects until a Friday morning hearing.
