After committing a traffic violation, an Alabama man traveling with his SUV is now accused of smuggling 20 Guatemalan men found inside his vehicle.
Authorities, who intercepted the Alabama man, said Pedro Roda-Lucas, 21, was driving a 2008 GMC Yukon when he was pulled over in Center City for a traffic violation, according to KIRO7.
The Mills County Sheriff's Office said Roda-Lucas of Tuscaloosa could not provide a driver's license when he was asked for documentation, and he also gave authorities a fictitious name.
In a Facebook post published on April 1, the Mills County Sheriff's Office said deputies found 21 men inside Roda-Lucas' vehicle. Later on, the individuals were determined to be from Guatemala and were in the United States illegally.
