The Live Oak County Sheriff's Office searched for as many as 19 undocumented immigrants from Honduras on Tuesday after they fled from police a day earlier, according to a county law enforcement official.
As many as 22 illegal immigrants were inside of or in the bed of a Toyota four-door pickup that rammed a county deputy's patrol car and ran through a fence on Farm-to-Market Road 623 on Monday, Live Oak County Sheriff's Office chief deputy Glenn Thompson said.
Thompson said Deputy Nick Chaviz was patrolling the area alone and fired multiple shots at the Toyota after the truck rammed the front of his patrol car. The bullets hit the truck's door and outside mirrors, and Thompson said no one was injured.
Thompson said the truck then crashed through the fence, and the immigrants fled through a pasture. He said Chaviz chased them on foot and apprehended three -- two males and one female.
Thompson said a three-person police search party is looking for the other undocumented immigrants, who weren't believed to be armed. He said the immigrants had cell phones and may be receiving help to remain hidden from authorities.
The Texas Rangers are assisting in the investigation.
It has been a busy few weeks for the Live Oak County Sheriff's Office, which was involved in a high-speed chase May 19 after a San Antonio man rammed into as many as six vehicles with his Toyota 4Runner, Thompson said.
The man eventually was shot in the left calf through the door of his vehicle by a Live Oak County peace officer from Beeville, Doug Phillips, and apprehended by law enforcement authorities, he said.

With the prevailing wage in Honduras at $3 per day, how do they afford cell phones and the monthly service fee?
“With the prevailing wage in Honduras at $3 per day, how do they afford cell phones and the monthly service fee?”
Probably stolen. How do they afford the ‘mordida’ to the Mexican authorities? These ‘migrants’ are not starving, they’re just after the USA booty. Another article today about a bunch of Chinamen crossing the Mexican border. Their countries want them here. We’re an easy mark.
“Thompson said Deputy Nick Chaviz was patrolling the area alone and fired multiple shots at the Toyota after the truck rammed the front of his patrol car.”
Ah, another LEO doing his job for the PC hispandering crowd to go after.
Even as we type, Mexican and Columbian drug cartels are waging war in border towns near New Mexico to carve out their turf.
Two reasons:
(1) Drug cartels envision huge profits now that Mexican trucks are hauling on US highways--- the trucks are easily loaded up with drugs and illegal aliens (drug runners) with no fear of L/E-----b/c Bush authorized this atrocity.
(2) The US is overrun by invaders from Third World countries, who are organizing themselves into a voting bloc. They use fraudulent documents, stolen IDs and multiple addresses to register in several precincts. The longterm plan is to takeover the US government to change our laws.
Drug cartels are setting themselves up to benefit from this.
Agreed!
