Texas National Guard member charged with human smuggling after high-speed chase near the border

Snips from article:

Johnson’s arrest was first reported Wednesday by NewsNation, which also reported that he had been deployed to Eagle Pass as part of the state’s multibillion-dollar border initiative, Operation Lone Star.

“It’s not the first Guardsman that we’ve caught,” said Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe, whose deputies also responded to the scene. “Everybody is susceptible to it because of the money involved. Guardsmen, other law enforcement agencies, Border Patrol agents have been involved in smuggling, FBI agents have been caught … it’s an age-old deal.”
