LAKE HAVASU CITY - Two men, who both worked at the same fast food restaurant and were both in the country illegally, have been arrested after they were pulled over on two separate occasions.

Three weeks ago, Mohave County Sheriff's deputies initiated a traffic stop on a speeding vehicle. The driver identified himself as 25-year-old Juan David Torres Ramirez, who had a Mexico driver's license.

Ramirez allegedly admitted he did not have a work permit to work in the United States. He was wearing a uniform from a local fast food restaurant.

The Border Patrol determined that Ramirez was an illegal immigrant and he was taken into custody.

Wednesday night, deputies initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle that did not have license plates. The driver was identified as 32-year-old J. Nery Hosmar Castillo-Alfaro. He had a Honduras driver's license.

The Border Patrol determined that Castillo-Alfaro was also an illegal immigrant and he was taken into custody. He and Ramirez worked at the same fast food chain.

The details of these arrests have been sent to the Mohave County Attorney's Office to review for violations of the Arizona Employer Sanctions Law.
