Phoenix Man Arrested For Human Smuggling

A 24-year-old Phoenix man was arrested on Sunday morning by Willcox Border Patrol agents after finding two male Mexican nationals in the trunk of his vehicle at the State Route 90 Immigration Checkpoint.

Agents working the primary inspection lane referred the driver of a silver sedan for a secondary inspection after a Border Patrol canine alerted to an odor it is trained to detect. When agents opened the vehicle’s trunk, they discovered two men inside, ages 25 and 29.

The vehicle was seized, and the driver arrested for human smuggling. The Mexican nationals were processed for immigration violations.
