Illegal Aliens Caught on I-70

Carolyn Hileman* | April 24, 2007

A Belmont County investigator suspects separate groups of illegal aliens arrested within 15 minutes of one another Sunday in Wheeling and St. Clairsville were traveling together, while a West Virginia State Police trooper is skeptical of that theory. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from Columbus picked up 14 illegal aliens at about 6 a.m. today from the Belmont County Jail, according to Chief Deputy Joseph Hummel. The 11 men and three women from Mexico were stopped by deputies Sunday afternoon in the parking lot of Kroger in the Ohio Valley Plaza in St. Clairsville. At about 12:30 p.m. Sunday, troopers from the Wheeling Detachment of the West Virginia State Police stopped a van with 13 illegal Mexicans who told police they were traveling from Arizona to Philadelphia.The Voice
