A Sheriff rescued an Illegal escaping from the Mexican Cartel after smugglers abandoned him.
'I want to go home to my mother. They left me in those hills, I had to cross from there to there, and I went to the ranch looking for help,' Hector said.
Hector was heading to Indianapolis with a group of 10 people.
He paid smugglers $3,000 to cross the border after refusing to work for the cartel.
'They threatened me in Tehuacan if I didn't work for the narcos because I was indebted to them. So, I focused on getting out of Tehuacan as soon as I could,' he said.
An additional $3,000 payment was required upon reaching his destination.
According to reports after he was released from the hospital, Hector was sent back to Mexico.
