On March 25, Oxford Police Officer David Cash was notified by a local citizen, who reported observing two males climbing over his fence onto his private property. The citizen then followed a white four-door vehicle in which the two men had left the property.<\/p>\n

The citizen pointed out a white four-door car to Cash, who observed it travelling westbound on Bynum Boulevard in Oxford. Cash caught up to the vehicle near the intersection of Bynum Boulevard and Beck Road and initiated a traffic stop of the Dodge Dart<\/p>\n

When Cash stopped the vehicle and made contact with the driver, two males in the back seat were wearing camouflage.<\/p>\n

Cash recovered a Smith & Wesson pistol – model SD9 – with an attached laser and a loaded magazine containing 15 rounds from the glovebox. The Smith & Wesson pistol was confirmed stolen by the Arlington, Texas Police Department.<\/p>\n

Cash also recovered a loaded Caspian Arms .45 caliber pistol from under the driver’s seat and from the trunk a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm pistol and a SIG Sauer SP2022 pistol and loaded magazines. “Other items found in the vehicle included a tactical vest, a knife, utility rope, a machete, handcuffs, and a black ski mask,” according to the affidavit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Benegas told the Feds that he was paid and equipped by a Honduran drug lord and enforcer. Medrano had been ordered to deport himself in 2014 by an immigration judge, apparently, he failed to comply. Benitez had prior drug and evasion convictions in Texas. All three are in the US illegally, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
