A man who was supposed to be upholding the law is now accused of breaking it in a big way.
Jason Lowery, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation agent, was arrested Tuesday after a high speed pursuit in Pinal County which lasted 45 minutes — FOX 10 and Fox News have confirmed.
AZCentral:
A deportation officer with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement led Arizona state police and federal agents on a high-speed chase in his government vehicle, throwing bundles of marijuana out of the window as he fled, the Department of Public Safety said Wednesday.
The deportation officer, whose name has not been released, had been under surveillance for more than month after a known smuggler who had been arrested gave authorities a tip about the Officer in an effort to get lenient treatment, DPS Officer Carrick Cook told the Associated Press.
When DPS and federal agents tried to pull the officer over Tuesday after he picked up a load of marijuana in the desert with his unmarked ICE pickup truck, the officer fled, leading agents on a 45-minute chase at speeds of up to 110 mph as he threw 10 of the 14 bundles of pot that he had in the truck out of the window, Cook said.
“He got pretty desperate,” Cook said.
The chase ended when the officer’s vehicle rolled over and he gave himself up. He was booked into Pima County jail on charges of smuggling and felony flight.
DPS has not released his name, citing sensitivity because of their partnership with federal authorities.
