The scene pictured above happened yesterday morning, when deputies found the “suspicious truck” in the southeast Valley, and pulled it over.
Immediately, one of the passengers from the cab bolted into the shopping center, and not only was that person not ripped to shreds with an automatic weapon, he ended up successfully running away from deputies.
Things didn’t work out so well for the 11 people remaining in the vehicle — 10 of them in the truck bed — as you can see in the above photograph.
They all admitted to paying between $2,500 and $4,000 to be smuggled into the U.S., according to MCSO’s press release.
