BIG WELLS, Texas – Dimmit County Precinct 3 Constable Robert Balderas says chases involving human smuggling have become common in recent weeks in the area.
Balderas said one of the wild and scariest chases he’s even been in, where nine men were pushed or bailed out on their own from a moving vehicle, happened in March.
“We had multiple individuals get pushed out of the vehicle onto the highway to, I guess, make me pull over, so the driver is able to get away,” Balderas said.
