LA JOYA-Just one day after La Joya Police pursued an alleged smuggler who tired throwing bundles out of the van he was driving in an effort to get away from police, another smuggler jumped from a moving mini-van near a canal, leaving nine illegal immigrants inside. With police chasing the driver, one of the passengers gets out of the van and grabs the door to prevent the van from rolling into a canal. During the investigation, authorities found out the man didn't run from police because among the passengers still inside, was his brother. All of the nine people were later turned over to Border Patrol.
