Two U.S. soldiers who were stationed in Texas have been charged with smuggling two people from Mexico over the border, CNN reports.
Ralph Gregory Saint-Joie, an 18-year-old solider at Fort Hood, and Emmanuel Oppongagyare, a 20-year-old National Guardsman from Pennsylvania, both appeared in court on Tuesday, and are being held in custody. Prosecutors accuse Oppongagyare of driving a vehicle with Saint-Joie as a passenger with the two Mexican nationals in the trunk. They were discovered by Border Patrol agents at a checkpoint in Hebbronville, Texas when agents conducted an inspection of the vehicle and recommended further investigation.
"At approximately 12:45 a.m., a black sedan approached the checkpoint at a high rate of speed before coming to an abrupt stop to be inspected by the BPA on duty," reads the complaint,
according to CNN.
