DPS Arrests Two Human Smugglers During Webb County Traffic Stop

DPS Troopers stopped two trucks driving in tandem on IH-35 in Webb County earlier this week. During the traffic stop, the driver of the first truck, Daniel Pena of Zapata, Texas, bailed out and attempted to evade. Troopers discovered 15 illegal immigrants from Mexico stuffed in toolboxes and the truck’s rear cab. Pena and the driver of the second truck, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, were arrested and charged with smuggling of persons. All 15 illegal immigrants were referred to Border Patrol.

People from this area recognize they took the most stupid route you could possibly use. They probably had a better chance going through check point!😂
