/Sounds like "CHOHN" (as in "chose") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A cop in Honduras, an informal, generally derogatory term used as a warning among friends. When someone yells 'here comes the chonte,' it's the signal that the authorities are nearby and you better behave.
“Here come the chontes, put that away quick.”
“The chontes stopped him at the checkpoint and asked for his papers.”
