SAFFORD, Arizona -- If a person was to make the unwise choice to become a human smuggler, that person should probably follow basic traffic laws during the commission of their crime.
Graham County Deputy Eric Mayhew pulled over a white Dodge pickup for following the vehicle in front of it too closely on Monday and quickly discovered 19 undocumented aliens stashed throughout the vehicle.
Mayhew called for backup and was assisted by Graham County Detective Mike Wear as well as officers from the Safford Police Department.
Ten illegal aliens were crammed into the truck, piled up in the extended cab portion and nine more were hiding under a carpet in the rear pickup bed.
