Dramatic video captured the moment a Texas National Guardsman was captured after allegedly smuggling an illegal immigrant to the southern border and leading police on a high-speed chase in his government-issued SUV.
Specialist Savion Amari Donovan Johnson, 26, is seen being dragged out of the vehicle by members of the Texas Department of Public Safety and Kinney County sheriff’s deputies.
He was arrested Sunday in Bracketville after the chase, which reached speeds at over 100 mph and charged with evading arrest, smuggling of persons and unlawful carry of a weapon.
Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe told the outlet that Johnson turned around when he approached a Border Patrol checkpoint off Highway 674, where agents tried to stop him.
Texas DPS officers then used spike strips to get the SUV to come to a stop. The illegal immigrant jumped out and fled before he gave himself up and was later processed by Border Patrol, according to the outlet.
The suspect, who was armed, was promised $5,000 to $6,000 for smuggling the undocumented person, sources told NewsNation.
“We don’t know what’s going on in their lives to make them do this,” Coe told the outlet. “But they’re going to get caught.” “If the allegations are true, the accused is a traitor and criminal,” a spokesman for Abbott told Fox News in a statement.
“We have zero tolerance for Texans who violate laws that directly contradict the mission we are seeking to achieve. The accused’s illegal smuggling may subject him to a mandatory minimum prison sentence of at least 10 years. He deserves more,” he added. ***

Yeah, its a real mystery why a Weekend Warrior who may be unemployed in civilian life would accept $5-6K to smuggle someone.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the DOJ handles this situation.. I’m not sure the army has jurisdiction in a case involving National Guard.. ???
O’Biden will most likely give him a field commission, make him a four star general...
> He’s obviously on the payroll of the cartels. <
And the cartels are awash with money. Thanks to Biden, we will soon see this treasonous behavior everywhere.
As a side note, the Mafia had officials on the payroll, too. But at least the Mafia took pains not to hurt innocents in their wars. The cartels don’t care who gets killed. Yep, bad times are ahead.
Not too bright.
Everyone knows that the government doesn’t like competition.
He was promised five to 6 thousand dollars.
The governor released a statement. He’s looking at 10 years minimum. The governor says he deserves more and called him a traitor.
I don't get it - why the O' in front of Biden? What am I missing? Did he suddenly become Irish?
Guarantee the cop at the 4:10 mark was looking to drain the lizard!!!
Who does he think he is, Joe Biden!
Yep. Just as I suspected.
L
Along with the majority of our government. 🙄
The allure of easy money.
Donavan is a popular name for pro athletes......Mitchell and McNabb come to mind.
Revoke his citizenship.
Imprison him with hard labor.
Since he was arrested by Texas LOE he will be prosecuted fir at least the weapons and drugs
If not the human smuggling
Hey, if Biden can put them on planes and fly them in, what’s the problem?
That guardsman is not doing anything that Biden isn’t doing.
Except that, Biden does it secretly with plane-loads of illegal aliens, and flies them to ‘secret’ places all over in the U.S.
If Biden can get away with helping ‘migrants’ get into the U.S., why not the guardsman. Biden has done it hundreds of thousands more than the guardsman. Same crime, so, if Biden can do it and get away with it, the guardsman can point at Biden as a defense. Biden’s crime is many times more egregious than the guardsman’s crime.
Probably includes the first letter of the last name of his puppeteer handler… Obama.
Who would have thought that lawlessness begets corruption?
“Nothing else but money could explain the outright treason we’re seeing with our own eyes”
Ummm, NO
Even more than the corruption and money, it is the determination to replace the US population and change America to Not America
And they are dam well doing it
