It appears the 22-year-old man involved in a DUI with death crash in Boone County is an illegal immigrant.

Boone County Sheriff Rodney Miller says Christian Javier Sanchez Rubio of Whitesville couldn't speak English and couldn't produce identification when deputies questioned him early Thursday morning following the deadly crash on Route 3.

Sheriff Miller says Rubio had a resident alien card, but through a translator later admitted the identification was not accurate. Miller says the department is working with immigration authorities on the case. Miller says it appears Rubio was working at mining operations in the area.

Miller says Rubio's status doesn't change much about their criminal case. He says Rubio was drunk when he drove his vehicle across the centerline and slammed into a vehicle being driven by Terry Evans of Clear Fork. Evans' four-year-old son Tyler was killed while a two-year-old son was injured.

Sheriff Miller says the family was driving home to Raleigh County when Rubio came into their path.

Rubio remains a patient at Charleston Area Medical Center. He'll be arrested as soon as he's released.

Thanks. That's more info than provided at first.

Don't get us wrong. There's just a whole contingent of FReeprs who will blame illegal immigrants for everything from "Ishtar" to "New Coke."

All we're saying is that, while illegal immigration ~is~ a problem, we can't blame them for orignal sin.

Thanks for the info.
