APPLE CREEK, Ohio -- "We arrest them and the prosecutor's office lets them go," Police Chief John Lowe said about the immigration concerns facing the small town of Apple Creek.
There are only 1,100 residents in this rural community where their Amish neighbors still plow the fields behind a team of draft horses.
In the last few years, there has been an increasing number of Hispanics moving into the area. The police chief says too many have false documents or counterfeit licenses.
Lowe pulls out a large file folder full of fake documents that have been handed to his police officers when making a traffic stop.
However, the chief claims that whenever the case is forwarded to the Wayne County Prosecutors office, each case gets dismissed.
