Border Patrol Arrests Juvenile 2nd Time in 5 Days

(Monday, July 19, 2010)

Yuma, Ariz. - U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a juvenile male caught smuggling bundles of marijuana into the country near the Colorado River on Sunday.

At about 7 p.m., Border Patrol agents assigned to the Yuma Station detected the illegal entry of an individual riding a bicycle near County 7th Street and the Colorado River. Agents tracked the bicycle’s tire sign to the brush along the Colorado River and located a 17-year-old Mexican citizen, the bicycle and a make-shift backpack full of marijuana.

Agents arrested the juvenile and seized the marijuana weighing 30 pounds with an estimated street value of $24,000. Border Patrol agents ran records checks on the juvenile and discovered that he was arrested near the same area last week.

On July 14, the juvenile was arrested by Yuma Station Border Patrol agents after illegally entering the country. That time, he was arrested after illegally entering the country carrying 27 pounds of marijuana. He was riding a bicycle at the time of arrest.

Border Patrol agents turned the juvenile and marijuana over to the Yuma County Narcotics Task Force.

Children and young people are definitely part of the illegal alien and drug smuggling activities taking place. The 15 year old throwing rocks at Border Patrol, who was shot and killed, is alleged to have been quite active in assisting illegal behavior.

GEE, I thought possession of that much pot was a FELONY. I guess since he is a Mexican citizen, he just gets an escort back home. He gets caught a second time. Illegal re-entry is a FELONY, and again with pounds of pot, another FELONY.

Whatcha wanna bet he is home again, planning his next delivery to America?

That's an outrage , if an American teen had been caught like that he'd be in jail one year minimum.

For many there appears to be a revolving door at the border.
