YCSO arrests Honduran man for smuggling of persons

A Honduran man was arrested in Young County last weekend with the alleged change of smuggling of persons following a traffic stop by the Young County Sheriff’s Office. Jamie Lionel Corrales-Oliva, 20, sits in the Young County Jail on a $20,000 bond.

Around 2:56 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, Corrales-Olivia was driving a white Honda Pilot when he was stopped at Hwy. 114 and Hwy. 16 by a YSCO deputy for a traffic violation.

During the traffic stop, the deputy called for assistance from a second deputy. The deputies observed that the vehicle contained seven men, two women and one juvenile male. The passengers gave the deputy conflicting stories regarding their destination and points of origin.
