CHARLESTON -- State Police arrested nine undocumented immigrants Monday after troopers stopped a vehicle with expired registration on Interstate 64.
Trooper M. Napier of the South Charleston State Police detachment was traveling eastbound on I-64 when he saw a Mercury Marquis with an expired South Carolina registration, according to a release from State Police.
"Napier stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as Antonio Garcia Olivera, 34, of Mexico. Not only did Olivera not have a valid driver’s license, but he did not have proper documentation or authorization to be in the United States from Mexico," the release said. Napier also discovered that the additional eight passengers did not have the proper documentation to be in the country either, the release said,
Napier arrested Olivera and Cerferino Gonzales-Vega, 18; Oscar Vega-Cavillo, 29; Daniel Carcia-Camacho, 22; Lionel Estrada-Alvarez, 35; Jose Manuel Gonzales-Vega, 28; Fransico Javier Olvera-Gonzales, 20 and Antonio Morales-Olivia, 25, all from Mexico. Also traveling with the adults was one juvenile male that was reported as being 17 years of age.
All of the undocumented immigrants were released to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at the Charleston office.
