Two illegal entrants were arrested Thursday after leading Highway Patrol officers on a mile-long chase in which one of the entrants was hit by a vehicle.
The incident began when an officer tried to pull over a black Chevrolet Suburban on Interstate 10 because it wouldn't get out of her way as she was driving to the scene of an accident with injuries on Interstate 19.
She wanted to investigate because the driver was speeding and driving recklessly, said Officer Jim Oien, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
The driver turned onto city streets when the officer tried to stop the vehicle, Oien said. The officer chased it while other officers went to the accident.
Near the 1700 block of East Benson Highway, close to the Pima County Sheriff's Department headquarters, the Suburban stopped and six people jumped out and ran, Oien said.
As they crossed the busy street, a woman in the group was clipped by the mirror of another vehicle, Oien said. That driver stopped, but the woman kept running into a wash.
Officers continued to chase the group and a helicopter joined the search about 10 a.m. Officers found two of the people in the wash and arrested them. The other four escaped.
The driver of the SUV was charged with unlawful flight from a law enforcement vehicle, reckless driving and false reporting to law enforcement. That man has been deported 17 times under different aliases, Oien said, and was booked into the Pima County jail as a John Doe.
The woman, whose name was not released, was turned over to the Border Patrol to be deported. Her minor injuries did not require medical attention. Oien did not know the entrants' nationalities.
This is beyond ridiculous.

Can he spell "mexican"?
First it was illegal aliens, then undocumented workers, now they are illegal entrants? How about "criminals"?
Just drivin' like Gringos won't drive.....
Are "illegal entrants" similar to alien invaders?
Notice the word "smuggling" is omitted. This man has been caught smuggling and 17 times he has been deported was probably because of smuggling. Shame on the police officer if he didn't slap the jerk on the wrist.
How do you stop a 17-time repeat offender? At what point is it a felony? I think my Congressman (Kolbe, R-AZ8) said you only had to do it 3 times...
Yeah..... what happened to convicted 3 times and you go away for life?
He was just coming to cut Cultural Jihad's lawn, and work on Dane's roof.
I'm actually surprised the word "illegal" was used. Nowadays the PC word is "undocumented" .....usually followed by "migrants."
What'er ya talkin'...It probably WAS Cultural Jihad and Dane...
Un. Freeking. Believable. Speechless.
You're scaring me!!
yeah ,...let's wager , I'll hold the money!! BTW , perhaps UNDOCUMENTED ENTRANTS , no?
"He was just coming to cut Cultural Jihad's lawn, and work on Dane's roof."
