BEAVER — For the second time in two days, the Utah Highway Patrol has arrested a person for allegedly smuggling people believed to be in the country illegally.
The investigation began Tuesday, just before 11 p.m., when a Utah Highway Patrol trooper was contacted by a detective in California who stated "that a individual had reported that his girlfriend had possibly been taken. He told me that he didn't know by who or when," a police booking affidavit states. The woman's phone was pinging in Utah, the affidavit states.
"The license he provided to me was clearly false," the trooper states. "The picture and lettering were not correct on it.""When I asked for their identifications, none of them possessed a valid identification card from the United States. I again immediately recognized it as a possible human smuggling operation from my experience," the affidavit states.
