Federal authorities arrested a juvenile probation officer from South Texas after discovering a migrant from Honduras hiding in the rear of his vehicle.
On Thursday morning, Rodriguez appeared before a U.S. Magistrate Judge, who formally notified him of the charges against him and ordered the probation officer held without bond. Rodriguez further waived a preliminary hearing and asked for a court-appointed attorney. One of the USBP agents at the checkpoint noticed “a large quantity of air fresheners” in the vehicle. Shortly after, a police dog alerted agents to the vehicle’s rear cargo area, court records showed. The agents had Rodriguez open the rear door, and they discovered a Honduran migrant, identified as David Edgardo Rodriguez Maldonado, hiding under a black sheet.
When federal agents tried to question Pedro Alejandro Rodriguez about his role in driving the migrant, he reportedly asked for an attorney and refused to answer any questions.
