Human smuggling is a growing problem in Southern Arizona with drivers as young as 13-years-old. The Cochise County Sheriff said issues at the border have become a public safety threat.
COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — Human smuggling is a growing problem in Southern Arizona with the age of the drivers as young as 13-years-old.
“You’re looking at $2,500 a person from my county to Maricopa County- to drive. That’s per person. So, get 3 or 4, see how lucrative that is to a young mind,” said Sheriff Dannels. This is a real example from the Sheriff showing KGUN 9 snapchats with offers to earn quick cash promising the drivers a safe route.“We have a 16-year-old in my jail right now for murder,” he said.“A 16-year-old kid, a smuggler driver, fled from a deputy. The speeds were so reckless, he disengaged because of community risk. 30 miles later, he went through a red light at deadly speeds, and killed her,” Sheriff Dannels said.It usually starts off like this: driving too slow or too fast.
