Boise Man Arrested, 2 Illegal Aliens In Vehicle Trunk

Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents from the Nogales Station arrested a 38-year-old man from Boise, Idaho, for attempting to transport two illegal aliens Thursday night through the immigration checkpoint located on Interstate 19 near Amado.

The driver of a Chevrolet Malibu was referred to secondary inspection after a canine alerted to an odor it is trained to detect. When agents conducting the secondary inspection opened the vehicle’s trunk, they discovered two male Mexican nationals, ages 27 and 28, who had entered the country illegally.

Agents arrested the driver on human smuggling charges. The two Mexican nationals are being processed for immigration violations.
