He wasn't apprehended by state police, it was Border Patrol.
That county has a really good working relationship between fed, state, and local law enforcement. A 911 call is likely to get you all three if you are near the border.
The real reason this person was picked up quickly was the citizen who dialed 911 when this guy showed up at his front door. A BP agent ran code to the residence and found the van, 10 minutes later he was in custody.
Thanks bandit.
Stolen vehicle, directed to secondary inspection ....

Here was a person who definitely did not understand what a border crossing entails!
Any publication of his name yet?
