Immigrant discovered hiding in duffel bag
July 22, 2006


Border Patrol agents discovered an undocumented immigrant trying to enter the country by hiding in a closed nylon duffel bag on Thursday near the Sarita Border Patrol Checkpoint. The man, whose age was not released late Friday, appeared to be in good health.

The Mexican national was discovered after Border Patrol agents noticed the nervous behavior of the driver of a Chevrolet Suburban and inspected the vehicle.

During the inspection, agents felt what appeared to be a person inside a duffel bag covered by several blankets on the rear seat of the vehicle.

The driver, a 26 year-old resident of the U.S., was arrested.
