WHEELING -- A van carrying illegal immigrants was stopped in Ohio County Sunday.

All 13 men were crammed into a minivan.

The vehicle was spotted travelling west along Interstate 70 in Ohio County when state police pulled the van over at a rest stop.

The men told the officers they illegally crossed the border near Phoenix, Ariz.

Cpl. A.J. Lainge contacted immigrations officials who told him to arrest the men and take them to the Northern Regional Jail.

They are expected to be transported to Pittsburgh Monday.
