An Arizona man has been arrested on charges of human smuggling after Border Patrol agents found 31 illegal immigrants from Mexico in his tractor-trailer.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a Sept. 17 statement that agents assigned to the Interstate 19 immigration checkpoint near Amado found the concealed Mexican nationals, aged between 15 and 40, after a Border Patrol dog alerted them that something was amiss.
