One of the men arrested in a downtown Austin drug sting will remain in jail, for now.

A bail hearing for Steve Yassine was postponed Monday. A federal judge denied Yassine bail last week. He is facing drug trafficking, weapons and money laundering charges.

Steve Yassine is one of 11 people arrested last month. Federal authorities say the suspects were using Yassine Enterprises' downtown bars as a front for a drug ring.

Two of Steve Yassine's brothers, Mike and Hadi, were also arrested. Mike Yassine is the owner of Yassine Enterprises. A judge denied him bail as well.

Hadi and three others are out on bond.
