11 Illegals were arrested by The Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office Thursday Morning.
According to the incident report, the arrest began with a suspended license plate I-75. A sheriff deputy was in the median of Interstate 75 around 6 a.m., scanning tags. A cargo van drove by in the northbound lane, and the deputy notices that officers had already suspended this tag. The report does not say why. The deputy followed the 2012 Nissan and initiated a traffic stop on it at the bottom of the exit ramp at mile marker 333.
According to the incident report, the deputy found the driver of the Nissan with nine other passengers. They were from the Atlanta area and came to Dalton to do some cheap work. The deputy asked the driver, identified as Victor Perez-Sanchez, for a driver’s license. He gave him a Guatemalan ID card. The deputy decided to arrest Perez Sanchez for driving without a license and driving with a suspended plate.
It said in the report “Deputy Henderson spoke to the occupants of the van and noticed that they all were very nervous and where shaking,” Another sheriff deputy arrived on scene and asked for identification from the other passengers in the vehicle. Three occupants (in the) vehicle gave him Honduran IDs and another passenger handed over a Bank of America card with his face on it.
–>Another person Identified as Jose Perez-Sanchez then pulled up to the scene in a Toyota Tacoma and explained he was with the group.
A sheriff deputy on scene asked him for his driver’s license as well, and he also produced a Guatemalan ID. The deputy then arrested him for the same charges as he did Victor Perez-Sanchez — plus an additional charge for permitting an unlicensed driver to operate a vehicle. The deputies placed all 11 people into custody and transported them to the Whitfield County Jail with a hold for ICE agents.
The hold means officers figured out the people were here illegally. Though ICE was contacted It does not mean they will be deported back, as they need have to go through the same court process. Four people in the group had already been transported from the Whitfield County jail to an immigration processing site in Atlanta (Atlanta City Detention Center) According to the report the people detained worked for Green Circle Demolition, located in Atlanta.
They were said to be working on the Dalton High School.
