Two men on the "national terrorist watch list" have been turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) following a routine traffic stop, according to Patagonia Police Chief Ed Dobbertin.
Dobbertin said that on Feb. 12, between 9-9:30 a.m., he was patrolling State Route 82 near milepost 28 when he pulled over a car for a traffic violation.
"There were just indicators that something wasn't right with the vehicle," said Dobbertin. "We searched. My dog indicated that there was the presence of narcotic odor in the vehicle," he added.
Dobbertin said he then called Border Patrol to assist. "They (the driver and passenger) were transported back when we found out that they were on the national terrorist watch list, and the investigation was turned over to Border Patrol and FBI," said Dobbertin. He added that the men were of Middle Eastern descent and had been residing in Sierra Vista. "They were on the list because apparently they were non-U.S. citizens going to Nogales to basically bond out an individual - their associate - who was also a non-U.S. citizen that had been stopped the night before by Customs and Border Protection agents for entering the United States illegally," said Dobbertin.
The Border Patrol did not return numerous calls by press time.

...they were non-U.S. citizens going to Nogales to basically bond out an individual - their associate - who was also a non-U.S. citizen that had been stopped the night before by Customs and Border Protection agents... Ah, the irony.
Now if only 4 non-citizens show up to bond them out, and then 8 come to bond out those 4, and then 16...the domino effect!

Believe me, I wanted to open up on them for rushing up and stopping less than a foot from the back of my motorcycle.
I was visibly armed and therefore could not escalate in any way.

Someone please explain this to me! Does this say that a friend of an illegal (let alone the fact they are Middle Eastern) can go to the jail where the illegal is being held and put up a bond to get him - out of jail to roam free in The United States of America!No, silly, it means that someone who is on the terrorist watch list, and here illegally, can bail out a "friend" who is also here illegally, and has not been checked against the terrorist watch list, and then they can both fade back into the woodwork, until it is time for them to mass murder American children.

Been there. Exercised worse judgment. No one hurt. The other guys last seen trying to explain to Ossifer Friendly why they nearly hit his car, while scores of people they had bullied out of the way waved, blew their horns, and otherwise expressed their displeasure with the jerks, and enjoyment at seeing them pulled over...

Beats me.
They’ve been living here in Sierra Vista? For how long, I wonder, and why haven’t they been picked up before now?
Really instills confidence in the SVPD, eh?

Half a dozen years ago, some tourists from the SW told me that Miđdle Easters were buying up motels at a rapid pace. Something to think about.

Nogales is on the US(AZ)/Mexico border about 50-60 miles south of Tucson. AZ Highway 82 runs from there to the East through the town of Patagonia towards Tombstone. Sierra Vista is the town right outside the Army post of Ft. Huachuca, also pretty much right on the border with Mexico.

I wonder if these were they guys with a red crescent moon and palm tree on their pickup that were driving like douchebags down by McDs on 92 last month?? Maybe they were from South Carolina.
