John Boyd was driving a Ford pickup truck near Willcox on Sunday when he stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint, according to a criminal complaint.

A Border Patrol dog was alerted to the possible presence of illegal immigrants, and an agent saw a person hiding under a piece of plywood in the bed of the truck, the complaint said.

The agent asked Boyd to turn off the truck’s engine and continued the search, finding an unaccompanied 6-year-old girl in the passenger seat and two people lying on the floorboard behind the front seat, according to the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court.

Agents found two more people hiding under the piece of plywood in the bed of the truck.

The people admitted they were not U.S. citizens and did not have permission to be in the country, the complaint said. Another inspection uncovered two plastic bags that contained several rocks of crystal methamphetamine, four unopened syringes, a spoon with white residue and burn marks on the bottom, and three knives, the complaint said.

Agents also found a Beretta 22LR pistol loaded with eight rounds of ammunition and a spare magazine loaded with eight rounds of ammunition in a suitcase in the truck’s bed. The 6-year-old was not related to Boyd, and her parents were located and they were reunited, the complaint said.

The group members were going to pay $3,000 each to be smuggled into the country and transported to their final destination, the complaint states.

So this DemocRaphead is going to go to Federal Prison for violating gun laws, rights? Like Ramos and Campion? The law they were prosecuted for was to punish drug smugglers. Welcome to the pen.
