An accident investigation resulted in the arrest of an illegal
immigrant who had previously been deported for trafficking in
heroin and cocaine.
The accident happened about 4:45 p.m. at South Broadway and
Englewood Parkway. Englewood Police Officer Joel Jose was part of
the accident investigation. As part of the interview with the
driver at fault in the two-car crash, the officer was told the
42-year-old man was in the country illegally and had previously
been deported for drug trafficking. When
Jose talked with an Immigration Customs Enforcement agent, the
agent said the Asian man was in the country illegally and asked
that he be arrested and held for deportation investigation.
The suspect was arrested on the warrant and taken to Arapahoe
County Jail. He could face a hearing and eventual deportation.
