BELLAIRE, Ohio -- Four Mexican nationals were detained in Bellaire on Monday, suspected of being in the United States illegally.
Felipe Mayao Espino, 31, was detained along with Justo Cruz Santiago, 30; Ignacio Barqueras Rodriquez, 36; and Obispo Gonzalez, 20. Police placed the four in the Belmont County Jail at St. Clairsville after representatives of U.S. Immigration and Custons Enforcement placed a detainer on the subjects and indicated they would take custody of the four men today.
A total of six people were observed by Bellaire Building Code Inspector Mike Clark and his assistant, Russell Burkhart, at 3228 Monroe St. in the process of doing a roofing job. When Clark and Burkhart asked them where the building permit for the project was and where the contractor’s license was for doing business in Bellaire, they found the men could speak very little English.
