The son of a U.S. Congressman from was arrested in Willcox Sunday, charged with human smuggling. According to court documents John F. Boyd son of Florida Congressman Allen Boyd, attempted to drive through a Border Patrol checkpoint in Willcox on Sunday with five illegal immigrants, including a 6-year-old girl.

In a statement sent Tuesday, Congressman Allen Boyd said, "On September 14, 2008, my 30-year-old son, John Boyd, was arrested in Arizona, and at a preliminary hearing yesterday, he was charged with alien smuggling."

"This is a family matter that my family and I will be dealing with privately. John is a grown man and must face the consequences for his actions, but he has the love and support of his family," says the elder Boyd.

A criminal complaint states, "At the primary inspection area, a Border Patrol K-9 alerted to the possible presence of illegal aliens in the bed of the truck. A primary inspection agent approached the truck and saw an individual hiding under a piece of plywood in the bed of the truck."

According to court documents the illegal immigrants said they were to pay Boyd $3,000 each to be smuggled into the United States and transported to their final destination.

Court documents also state that the vehicle contained, "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. A further search of the vehicle revealed 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 bed of the truck."

Boyd is expected in federal court on Wednesday.

Since they don’t mention party affiliation, it MUST be a Democrat.

Actually, breaking public laws is not a family matter. This is a matter for the courts.

WRONG!!! It's a CRIMINAL MATTER, and therefore open to discussion about him, you, and your political positions on immigration and law "Congressman".

The DEMOCRAT Congressman Allen Boyd's son is an armed, drug addicted COYOTE.

Wonder why the headline didn't read something like that?

It sure would have if he had (R) after his name.

Hmmmmm....Let's do the math shall we?

With five illegal immigrants.......were to pay Boyd $3,000 each to be smuggled into the United States....... equals $15,000.

Has anyone bothered to contact the IRS...about this?

Why aren’t these people on Nancy Grace?

Shouldn’t there be 24/7 coverage of this?

Oh wait.

Nevermind.

Dems are exempt from laws and scrutiny of any nature.

“This is a family matter that my family and I will be dealing with privately...”

If you're a RAT, Felony charges are a “Family Matter”!

If you're a Pubbie, with Felony charges you and your family are subject to genocide!

Alan Boyd is a Conservative Democrat who has really supported the military and retirees here in North Florida. I have a lot of respect for him and I’m sorry that his son has caused him problems.

When a Democrat commits a crime or crimes, it is merely a matter of dog bites man and is not newsworthy.
