A Mississippi man was arrested in Texas after he was allegedly caught smuggling 17 illegal immigrants crammed inside a false compartment in a cloned home improvement box truck.
The DPS said in a press release that one of its troopers conducted a traffic stop on what appeared to be a Lowe’s Home Improvement store delivery truck outside of Del Rio, Texas, on US-277, near the southern border during the early morning hours on Friday.

After stopping the truck, the trooper interviewed Patterson and noticed he was demonstrating "strange behavior" and had multiple discrepancies with his travel itinerary, including expired tags on the truck, DPS said. Story tips and can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
