Hillsborough traffic stop leads to human smuggling charges - Tampa Bay Times
TAMPA — A deputy who pulled over a sport utility vehicle without a license tag discovered the driver was transporting five Mexican citizens in the county illegally, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
The driver, 21-year-old Kathleen Roberson of Phenix City, Ala., was going through Hillsborough County on her way to take the five to Immokalee, the Sheriff's Office said. She was arrested and the five were held on immigration charges.

Upon investigation, the deputy discovered five of the people in the SUV were in the county illegally and that Roberson was carrying $6,000 cash.

I'm guessing the illegals bribed her to get them into the country.

Nawww, surely it was one of the male passengers who was doing it really and as the cops pulled them over, forced the poor, innocent woman into the driving seat, quickly forged her a driving license (inc. photo) using the latest software on portable PC (Patriarchal Computer) then swapped seats and pretended he was an illegal immigrant.

Yeeeah!

Anyone else got a better story of how it wasn't a woman's fault?

There was a van load of illegal immigrants detained in my city last week. 9 men, 3 women (2 pregnant). Any guesses on who was released from ICE custody after the court hearing?
