Multiple agencies partnered to recapture a Honduran national who escaped from bus headed to Mexico.



YUMA, Ariz. – Multiple agencies scoured the area of Gadsden Wednesday looking for a Honduran national who escaped from a moving bus that was en route to the border to return him to Mexico.

At approximately 2:30 p.m., the driver of a contracted security company that provides transportation services for Yuma Sector Border Patrol reported the escape. The 22-year-old subject broke out the emergency hatch of the bus and escaped into the Gadsden area near County 19 Street and Highway 95.

The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office, Somerton Police Department, Yuma Air Branch, Border Patrol Tactical Unit and the Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue Unit assisted Yuma Border Patrol agents in their search for the subject.

At approximately 6:30 p.m., a Yuma agent found the subject hiding in a drainage culvert in the area. He was arrested and returned to the Yuma Border Patrol station for further processing.
