(Maricopa County, Arizona) Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s two-day crime suppression/ human smuggling
operation has ended resulting in the arrest of 51 suspects and 37 illegal aliens, 34 of whom will be
charged on state human smuggling charges, a class four felony. The other three suspected illegal
aliens were turned over to Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement.
During day two of the operation, Sheriff’s deputies arrested three U.S. Army soldiers on possession
of marijuana, drug transportation, money laundering and conspiracy when the soldiers were
discovered to have 680 pounds of marijuana and $10,000 in cash during a traffic stop in North
Phoenix.
The three soldiers were wearing military clothing and identified themselves with U.S. Government
issued military identification. The driver of that vehicle was also charged with driving on a
suspended driver’s license.
