Police arrested an illegal alien in Utah, who
had been deported from the U.S. eight different times, for allegedly trafficking $850,000 in meth and cocaine.
Jose Olegario Lopez, a 44-year-old Mexican national from the state of Sinaloa, was traveling with his 16-year-old son on Saturday when Utah County officers pulled him over for suspected traffic violations.
But Lopez reportedly did not stop the car, causing authorities to surround him until he was forced to stop.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials
confirmed that Lopez is in the U.S. illegally and has been busted for illegally re-entering the country eight times.
ICE officials placed a detainer on Lopez, meaning that if he is released from prison, ICE can take custody of him and deport him out of the U.S.
Lopez is not the only eight-time deportee to make headlines. One judge threw the book at a Honduran national who had been
deported from the U.S. eight times, sentencing the illegal alien to five years in federal prison.
