A 16-year-old faces charges including evading arrest and human smuggling. The Texas Department of Public Safety was involved in the incident. A trooper initially attempted to stop a white truck, which led to the driver and passengers fleeing on foot.

They ran onto a nearby ranch, where a K9 team was used to track down the teen. The teen was found hiding in thick brush after being tracked for nearly a mile. The people who fled with the teen were also found, with help from Border Patrol.

It was confirmed that six of them were in the country illegally. Further details about the incident are available from the source, including the current status of the teen, who is being held at a youth facility.
