Pot-laden truck creates armed standoff
A marijuana-laden dump truck got stuck in the Rio Grande on Thursday evening in Hudspeth county, leading to a standoff between U.S. law enforcement and what appeared to be The Mexican Military, sheriff officials said. "Its a serious incident," Hudspeth County Cheif Deputy Mike Doyal said.
We are very fortunate(Thursday)night no one got hurt, Doyal said
"Everyone had the presence of mind not to cause an International incident, or start shooting."
The incident began when Border Patrol agents tried to stop the dump truck on Interstate 10, sheriff officials said. The truck fled to Mexico in the Neelys crossing area.
The truck got stuck in the river bed, and the driver took off running. Agents "started to retrieve the bundles(of marijuana)when the armed subjects appeared" said agent Rom Cordero
The BP called Hudspeth County Sheriff deputies and Texas State Troopers for back up
Doyal said the truck driver returned with armed men, including men who arrived in Official-looking vehicles with overhead lights and what appeared to be Mexican soldiers in uniform and with military style rifles.
The standoff ended when the "soldiers" used a bulldozer to pull the dump truck into Mexico.
Doyal said the bulldozer is kept in the area and is suspected of being used to create makeshift path across the river.
"The 1850 pounds confiscated(by US authorites)was probably a third of what was in the truck."
