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. ***

>> The governor says he deserves more
Maybe he’ll “get more” while he’s in prison.
You seem to think the military ranks are somehow law abiding and stellar?
This behavior has been going on for very long time.
Abbot said that huh?
The same guy that was in India trying to score MORE H1B’s for Tejas while Eagle Pass was going down?
Typical of a politician.
Doubtful, there would have been more than one. He was, however on the payroll of that alien. Be interesting to see who he is.
Well, Biden is nothing more then a hood ornament.. I believe it to be Obama and the pit viper known as Valerie Jarrett that's doing most of the thinking in that mob.. We're a little past half way through Obama's third term hence, O'Biden.!
Got it! Thanks, guys.
