KINNEY COUNTY: 18-year-old found guilty of human smuggling, gets 10 year sentence
KINNEY COUNTY, TX - A Kinney County jury delivered a "guilty" verdict in the case of Brian Carrillo Ramirez.
18-year-old Ramirez is accused of transporting people by motor vehicle with intent to conceal them from police and for evading arrest.
Those offenses committed back in September 2022, are second and third-degree felonies.
Kinney County sheriff's deputies apprehended Ramirez who was driving a truck down Ranch Road 334. The truck sped away at high speeds, leading police on a short chase before abruptly stopping.
Two unknown men bailed out of the vehicle during the arrest and were not apprehended.
Following the presentation of the evidence at the trial, the jury returned with a unanimous guilty verdict in less than thirty minutes.
Ramirez now faces 10 years of confinement and was immediately taken into custody after the sentencing.
