(31 year old refuses to go to secondary)…It happened Monday.

Officials say Carlos Cortez drove up to the Calexico Port. As his vehicle was being inspected, the Customs and Border Protection Officer received an alert on his computer. He immediately sent Cortez to the secondary inspection area. Instead of following the order, Cortez drove his vehicle out of the Port and into the United States. A few hours later the vehicle was spotted by Calexico Police in the driveway of a residence on Platero Avenue. Homeland Security agents responded to the area and arrested Cortez. He was booked into County Jail.
