Police reports state that a patrolling deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a 2010 Lincoln for a minor violation.
The driver refused to stop and led law enforcement officials on a high speed chase which ended in proximity of Calle Progreso when the driver lost control of the vehicle , crashing into a homes fenced area. Sheriff Tom Schmerber states that the driver did flee the scene and a search began for him to no avail.
Deputies encountered a group of individuals that were determined to be undocumented inside of the vehicle. The group was turned over the the United States Border Patrol where they will now go through the federal channels for prosecution and deportation processes.
