Cops have made a surprising discovery in what appeared to be ordinary bales of hay.
A shocking series of photos have shown how sheriff's deputies uncovered a human smuggling operation after discovering multiple undocumented immigrants hidden inside meticulously altered hay bales during a routine traffic stop in Texas.
The disturbing discovery was made on Monday afternoon when Fayette County Drug Interdiction Sergeant Thumann pulled over a white Ford F-250 towing a gooseneck trailer loaded with round hay bales on Interstate 10 near Flatonia.
What appeared to be an ordinary agricultural load then turned into a major bust.
On closer inspection, cops realized the hay bales had been carefully hollowed out to create secret compartments for human cargo.
Multiple undocumented individuals were found crammed inside the dangerously confined spaces, hidden behind metal frameworks and layers of hay.
Driver Delbert Flanders, 44, from Kansas was taken to hospital for medical treatment following the traffic stop at approximately 12.50pm on the busy interstate highway.

This one is new.
This was in Better Call Saul.
Farmers know you just stuck a pitchfork all the way into it, from all sides.
Before that. “The Train.” Burt Lancaster. 1964.
I remember WWII movies using this approach. An Axis soldier would shoot inside the straw wounding someone. I doubt if the smugglers would worry about any wounded.
In a stealth camping video, a guy built a trailer that looked to be hauling pallets. It was hollowed out with a sleeping and eating compartment inside.
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES, EVER, IMO
BASED ON TRUE STORY, ALSO.
Anyone with hayfever allergies could die of anaphylactic shock inside one of those bales. Inconsiderately stinking up the place for the others.
“Driver Delbert Flanders, 44, from Kansas was taken to hospital for medical treatment following the traffic stop at approximately 12.50pm on the busy interstate highway.” Well hell, them Kansas cowboys can get a bit rowdy when they come to town.
“Driver Delbert Flanders, 44, from Kansas was taken to hospital for medical treatment following the traffic stop..”
Why? Did the cops curb stomp him?

I just started watching it. I won’t say ‘again’ yet, but I vaguely remember
watching it when I was a kid many years ago. I’m going to find out if I actually DID…
I’m reasonably certain his attitude got slightly adjusted for attempting to resist. He’s looking at some major jail time. The dumbass should have confined his human smuggling operations to Kalifornia, he’d be turned loose by sundown.
That’s Steve Wallis.🤔
And in hundreds of movies going back decades
I wouldn’t be surprised if they learned this trick from DemonRAT Senators or “district” junior Feral judgies.
This one won’t hold up in court.
Everyone’s ID matched. The odd thing was, they were all named “Alfalfa.”
😀
You know what this means...
No bale for you! 🤣
