(Jorge Garcia Orsonio sentenced)…Garcia was arrested last November.

He was driving a vehicle that crashed through the Border Patrol Checkpoint on Interstate 8, near Sunrise Highway. As he crashed through the checkpoint, his vehicle struck a steel framed stop sign. Debris struck and injured a Border Patrol agent. Garcia then led Border Patrol agents on a chase that reached 100 miles per hour at times. After the vehicle finally stopped, agents found two illegal immigrants on the floorboard. Garcia went to trial, and Friday was sentenced to 30 months in Federal Prison.
