Westmoreland man who tried to outrun agents says he was 'trying to turn his life around' after completing probation for another crime
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – An ex-con who told authorities he was “trying to turn his life around” after completing probation is among four people in custody in connection with a migrant stash busted by the U.S. Border Patrol last Wednesday in El Centro, California.
Agents assigned to the Intelligence Unit of the Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector knew something big was coming down after learning that a Ford F-250 pickup linked to previous migrant smuggling attempts had just entered the U.S. through the Calexico West port of entry.
The truck stopped at a gas station on State Route 7 near the international boundary fence, the driver made some phone calls and drove east along the All-American Canal that runs parallel to the U.S.-Mexico border.
