Saturday, August 22, 2009


Mobile County sheriff's deputies arrested three illegal immigrants early Friday morning on charges of trafficking cocaine and marijuana, a spokeswoman said.

David Umanzur, 20, Rivera Filiberto Gonzales, 21, and Heber Beltran, 20, were booked into Mobile County Metro Jail, where they remained Friday afternoon without bail.

Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Lori Myles said that deputies were called about 12:30 a.m. to a home at

283 4th Ave., near West Lee Street in Chickasaw, after receiving a tip about drug activity there.

According to online jail records, Umanzur and Gonzales live at the home.

Deputies seized 13 pounds of marijuana, four ounces of cocaine, a pistol, three vehicles and several fraudulent identification cards, Myles said.

Myles said she did not know where the men came from, or how long they had been in Mobile.
