“[D]eputies with the Frio County Sheriff’s Department and agents with the U.S. Border Patrol responded to a 911 call from someone who said they saw several people exiting a tractor-trailer parked at a convenience store in Frio County, southwest of San Antonio,” reports KXAS-TV.
“We see hands sticking out of a little rear door on the trailer,” Frio County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jerry Reyna tells NBC DFW.
Inside the trailer, where temperatures soared above 100 degrees, Watauga, Texas, resident Drew Christopher Potter, 33, is suspected of attempting to smuggle 39 illegals, including 28 men, seven women and four children.
