A former player for soccer team Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles was arrested and charged this week for allegedly trying to smuggle two women across the border at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry.
Raul Enriquez-Arambula, 37, the Xolos' top goal scorer of all time, was arrested Sunday morning and charged Monday by San Diego federal prosecutors with one count of bringing in unlawful aliens without presentation.
The officer conducting the inspection saw a blanket covering something in the rear of Enriquez's car, asked him to open the rear hatch and found two women concealed underneath the blanket, according to the document. The women, both Mexican citizens who lacked documents needed to lawfully enter or live in the United States, told officers that they agreed to pay between $15,000 and $18,500 to be brought across the border, the document states. The women also allegedly told officers that just before officers discovered them,"the driver" told them they were only five minutes away from crossing the border.
