Savion Amari Donovan Johnson, 26, arrested in Brackettville, Texas, on Sunday
Turned around at border checkpoint sparking chase, migrant jumped out of car
Police hauled him out of the SUV, discovered he was with Texas National Guard
A National Guardsman is accused of smuggling a migrant across the border into Texas while deployed to stop asylum-seekers entering the US – and his arrest was captured in dramatic footage.
Specialist Savion Amari Donovan Johnson, 26, was arrested around 3.45pm Sunday after a high-speed chase with police in Brackettville, Texas.
Texas Department of Public Safety and Kinney County Sheriff’s deputies pursued him after he abruptly turned around ahead of a checkpoint on Highway 674.
His sudden course change was suspicious, and their pursuit led to a 15-mile chase at speeds of over 100mph.
Sheriff Brad Coe confirmed Johnson was a member of the Texas National Guard assigned to Operation Lone Star, which aims to prevent migrants breaching the border, at the Eagle Pass crossing.
