A southern Texas sheriff is warning the public that unidentified
armed men dressed in military fatigues have been spotted on numerous
occasions in his county near the border with Mexico.
For the "country's safety," Sheriff Erasmo Alarcon Jr., of Jim
Hogg County, published a letter in a local newspaper to alert
citizens of reports he has received for some years from ranchers who
have spotted the unknown troops, equipped with "professional
backpacks" and walking together in a military cadence.
The latest sightings were just a few weeks ago, he said.
The county's deputy sheriff, Guadalupe Rodriguez, said he
believes the armed men were foreign and were not drug smugglers.
"They are not your regular traffickers that you get," he told
WND. "But we don't want to draw conclusions at this point and get
everybody worked up."
Alarcon said in his letter that "these military-type individuals
have been sighted in very remote locations of our county," which
"stretches 50 or 60 miles from end to end."
"We have reported this information to higher-up law enforcement
agencies, but no one really knows who these individuals are, not
even the military," he said in his letter, published by the Jim Hogg
County Enterprise in Hebbronville, Texas, March 13.
The sheriff said that reports of sightings most often were
received the next day, meaning that there was little that could have
been done.
On one occasion, a report was received within several hours of
the sighting.
"That particular time, we formed an immediate multi-agency task
force between the surrounding counties, but we were met with little
success," Alarcon said. "We even brought in air support."
The sheriff said he is publicizing the information "because we
still don't know who these individuals are."
"Obviously, they are trespassing, and obviously, they are
carrying something," he said. "We hope it's narcotics and not
something much worse."
Alarcon said he is bringing "this information to light because of
the security crisis our nation faces."
"If you see these individuals please call us immediately," he
said. "Remember the last plane that was taken down to prevent
further terrorism was done by everyday Americans who loved their
country enough to die protecting it."
He advised that "if you see these individuals do not talk to
them, do not confront them, but simply call 911. We don't know who
these individuals are so there no telling what they are capable of.
Thank you! God bless America!
