Four Men Sentenced in HumanTrafficking Ring

Last Update: 10:15 pm

MCALLEN - Four men convicted of holding hostage a group of illegal immigrants will spend several years behind bars.

The suspects were sentences from 20 to 9 years in prison.

In May 2010, the suspects smuggled 10 and several others to a stash house in Penitas.

The victims escaped and were later found by authorities at an Edinburg home. They identified the men as their captors.

Earlier this year the suspects entered guilty pleas. A fifth defendant remains to be sentenced later this month.
