A suspected human smuggler is in a South Texas jail after leading police on a pursuit that raced through three counties. The pursuit began when the suspected smuggler refused to stop for a traffic violation and ended with the arrest of the smuggler and five migrants.
Medina County Sheriff’s Office deputies attempted to stop a white Dodge Ram pickup for a traffic violation on Tuesday, KENS CBS5 in San Antonio reported. The driver fled into neighboring Atascosa County where he drove through a ranch, stopping long enough to drop off four migrants.
The driver took off again and led law enforcement officers into Bexar County and the outskirts of San Antonio — approximately 160 miles from the Texas-Mexico border. The pursuit reached speeds up to 80 miles per hour, officials reported.
The driver turned around and led police back into Atascosa County where officers deployed spike strips along Highway 16 to stop the fleeing vehicle. The deputies arrested the driver, a resident of Carrizo Springs, Texas.
