Tip leads Border Patrol to 91 illegal entrants in truck

Arizona Daily Star
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 05.19.2006
Border Patrol agents discovered 91 illegal entrants who were smuggled into the country in the back of a box truck Thursday night southwest of Sonoita, an official said Friday.
Around 10 p.m., the Border Patrol received a call from a concerned citizen about possible illegal activity, said Jesus Rodriguez, a spokesman for the agency's Tucson sector. The caller said they believed the truck was picking up illegal entrants.
Border Patrol agents from Nogales and Sonoita pulled the truck over on Highway 82 around Milepost 26, at which time the driver got out and ran into the brush, Rodriguez said.
Inside the truck, agents found 91 illegal entrants, most of whom were from Mexico but some were from Central America, he said.
No injuries were reported and the driver of the truck was not found, Rodriguez said.
The illegal entrants were detained and taken to the Nogales processing center, he said.
