DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa State Patrol is searching for more than a dozen people who fled following a traffic stop along Interstate 80 west of Des Moines.

The patrol stopped a white minivan in Dallas County about 9 a.m. today and as many as 15 people jumped out and ran into a cornfield and a wooded area.

Two people were caught and a patrol plane and a K-9 unit were assisting in the search for the others.

Patrol Lieutenant Doug Mollenhauer says those in the van were believed to be illegal immigrants. He says the patrol has contacted officials with Immigration and Custom Enforcement for direction on how to handle the incident.

Mollenhauer says the two people who were caught would likely be charged with interference with official acts unless immigration officials get involved.
