A man was arrested Monday after a traffic stop on Interstate 20 revealed he was unlicensed and wanted by federal immigration authorities, according to the Minden Police Department.
An officer patrolling I-20 east near mile marker 47 reported seeing a white Chevrolet truck traveling 85 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone. A traffic stop was conducted near mile marker 48.
The driver, identified as 20-year-old Jose Orozco, was unable to provide a driver’s license or any form of identification, police said. Three other men in the truck also could not produce proper identification.
Immigration officials were contacted, and the passengers were taken to the Minden Police Department, where they were later placed into federal custody.
Orozco was booked into the Minden Police Department on charges of driving without a license, resisting an officer, and as a fugitive from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
All subjects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
