Border Patrol agents assigned to Yuma Station were patrolling near the southern most end of Foothills Boulevard and the international boundary on the Barry M. Goldwater Range just before dawn when they encountered a 2001 Jeep Cherokee driving northbound from the fence at a high rate of speed. “The hours of darkness are always more busy than during the daylight,” said Kenneth Quillin, supervisory Border Patrol agent for the Yuma Sector Communications Division. Agents attempted to initiate a vehicle stop when the vehicle suddenly changed directions and headed back toward Mexico. The vehicle’s occupants abandoned the vehicle in the U.S. and fled to Mexico.
