A convicted human smuggler will spend close to five years in prison for his role in a high-speed chase near an elementary school. The ensuing crash left six people injured, including innocent motorists.
This week, 30-year-old Manuel Hernandez, Jr. went before U.S. District Judge Rolando Olvera at a federal courthouse in Brownsville. Olvera sentenced him to four years and nine months in prison on human smuggling charges. Hernandez previously pleaded guilty on April 13.
The charges stem from a human smuggling attempt on the western side of Brownsville, in a neighborhood that is just north of the Rio Grande and the border fence. That attempt ended in a crash after Hernandez tried to escape from authorities. According to information released by the U.S.
On the day of the crash, Hernandez had made his way to the western side of the city to pick up a group of migrants who had been smuggled into the country. Federal authorities spotted the group of migrants as they got into Hernandez’s SUV. The agents witnessed him speeding away, reaching speeds of close to 100 miles an hour. Local police and Border Patrol agents followed him and tried to stop him.
As he tried to flee, Hernandez crashed into an innocent motorist and then ran away leaving the vehicle and the victims at the scene. Authorities tracked him down and arrested him.
