A Mexican man was transported to a Tucson hospital after falling 60 feet from a cliff, sheriff's authorities said.

Ricardo Picos- Lara, 28, of Mexico, was air evacuated to Tucson Medical Center, said Carol Capas, a spokeswoman for the Cochise County Sheriff's Department.

Lara was complaining of having no feeling from his waist down.

Over the weekend, Border Patrol agents were tracking suspected drug smugglers from Silver Creek to the Highway 80 area, Capas said.

The agents found a group of migrants at about 6:30 a.m.. When the migrants saw the agents, the migrants fled and ran up a cliff.

As they were scrambling up the cliff, Lara fell and injured his head.

The agents detained five people. One other person was not caught.

Agents seized 250 pounds of marijuana, Capas said.

Oh, yeah, and as an aside,

Agents seized 250 pounds of marijuana, Capas said.

I'm suprised that they found the space to fit that in.

They weren't able to squeeze the word "illegal" in anywhere, though.

Guess who will have to pay for his hospital bill

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

:roll I am sorry he hurt himself. But what a dumb-ask!
Countfloyd--you are so right! No mention of illegal in the article at all. But with a reporter named Xavier Zaragoza, did you expect to see any words like 'illegal migrant' or 'illegal alien'?
I am honestly starting to believe that reporters are told not to disclose this information. Because when I make a phone call or email them asking their status, they usually know and tell me.
