HURON COUNTY, MI (WNEM) -
A 911 call for assistance following a disagreement in Huron County actually resulted in six illegal aliens being taken into custody.
The Huron County Sheriff says 911 central dispatch received a call just before 10 a.m. Wednesday requesting an ambulance on M-142 near Moore road in Oliver Township.
When a sheriff's deputy arrived to assist the ambulance, the deputy found that there was no need for an ambulance. Instead, he said he found six Mexican men near the roadway who had been working for an out-of-state construction company at a nearby grain elevator construction project.
Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson said apparently the six men had had a disagreement with the onsite construction supervisor, quit their jobs and were in need of transportation. Hanson said the situation was remedied when deputies took them into custody.
The men are now scheduled to rendezvous with federal officials for deportation processing.
