An officer stopped a 2025 Honda CRV driving along Wilmington Pike at approximately 10:15 a.m. for alleged fictitious plates.
The incident report indicates that the driver didn’t speak English, but the passenger translated for him.
The driver gave the officer a Mexico Identification Card and the title of the vehicle.
According to the incident report, the title showed the previous owner and had a notarization date of Dec. 9.
The passenger told officers that she didn’t have current identification or a driver’s license.
ICE agents responded to the traffic stop after they learned the driver’s identity.
The report indicates that ICE agents told Sugarcreek police that the driver had a Visa that expired in June 2023, according to the report.
The driver and passenger were detained by ICE agents for questioning. Their identities were not immediately available.
Sugarcreek Township police did not charge or cite the driver and passenger.
This case remains under investigation by ICE.
As previously reported by News Center 7, Sugarcreek Township Police Department Chief Michael Brown said this was not a coordinated effort between police and ICE.
“The impression (is) that Sugarcreek Township police are, were, working in a coordinated effort between ICE and Sugarcreek police. That simply is not the case… Once the traffic stop was made, ICE was contacted for assistance with determining the identity of the occupants,” Sugarcreek Township Police Chief Michael Brown said.
News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.
